[R] Anomaly in MIN (MAX) ?

[Athula Herath]

I have observed the following differences in the use of min/max
functions between R and Splus (4.5)

R (0.64.1): 

min(c(NA,NA,NA),na.rm=T)

returns the following

Warning in min(..., na.rm = na.rm) : no finite arguments to min/max;
returning extreme.
[1] 2147483647


S-Plus 4.5( Win32 edition)

min(c(NA,NA,NA),na.rm=T)

returns

[1] NA


The S-PLUS behaviour seems to be the right one


Thanks,

Athula.
