minN

Returns the n minimum elements from the provided array. If n is greater than or equal to the provided array's length than return the original array(sorted in ascending order).

Sort's the array's shallow copy in ascending order and returns the first n elements

Skip the second argument to get a single element(in the form of a array)

const minN = (arr, n = 1) => [...arr].sort((a, b) => a - b).slice(0, n);

minN([1, 2, 3]); // [1]
minN([1, 2, 3], 2); // [1,2]
minN([1, 2, 3], 4); // [1,2,3]
