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.
