Let $n>0$ and let memory $\mu$ store an integer array $f$ of length $n$ at address $A$ , with $A+n\le\mathrm{space}\le\mathrm{word}$ . Suppose the Light program contains the minimum-index body. Define $q_0=0$ , and set $q_{j+1}=j$ when $f(j)<f(q_j)$ , retaining $q_j$ otherwise.

The call with arguments $(A,n)$ terminates within $32n+20$ steps and satisfies

r=q_n,\qquad \nu=\mu.

Here $q_n$ is the first index attaining the minimum value, since equal values do not replace the current index. This supplies a deterministic minimum-selection primitive on a nonempty stored array.
