Solution A

minimum = math.min(unpack({3, 5, 7, 1})) --1
minimum = math.min(3, 5, 7, 1) --1

Solution B

local function min(numbers)
    if #numbers == 0 then return nil end
    local minimum = numbers[1]
    for i, number in ipairs(numbers) do
        if number < minimum then
            minimum = number
        end
    end
    return minimum
end
minimum = min({3, 5, 7, 1}) --1
