Not really.  It makes very little sense to return a “valid” result as 
output that was not part of the input arguments.  That’s certainly one, 
lazy way to define the function based on a convenient, number-centric 
implementation.  For many other languages, min/max functions are often 
generically implemented on collections of comparable objects.  On an 
empty list, they usually return a null object.  What might also make 
sense is “undefined”, but not an opposite infinity.

So would I get the job, or would you hire a more “agreeable” developer?
