Short Python Code to say "Pick the lower value"?

Question

What I mean is, I'm looking for really short code that returns the lower value. for example:

a=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] b=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] len(a) = 10 len(b) = 8 if (fill-this-in):      print(lesser-value) 

And I forgot to add that if b is lower than a, I want b returned - not len(b) - the variable b.

Answer 1

 print(min(a, b))
