Script Preparation code:

var a = Math.random() * 1000;
var b = Math.random() * 1000;

function ternary_min(x, y) {
  return x < y ? x : y;
}

function bitwise_min(x, y) {
  return y ^ ((x ^ y) & -(x < y));
}

Tests:

Math.min
var min = Math.min(a, b);
Ternary
var min = ternary_min(a, b);
Bitwise min
var min = bitwise_min(a, b);
