 * Applies the given selector to all elements of the given collection and

 *
 * @typeParam T The type of the elements in the array.
 *
 * @param array The array to find the minimum element in.
 * @param selector The function to get the value to compare from each element.

 * @returns The smallest value of the given function or undefined if there are
 * no elements.
 *
 * @example Basic usage
 * ```ts

 * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
 *
