How do you find the minimum value of an array in c language?

Answer 1

Your best bet would probably be to iterate through the array using a for loop and compare each value to the current low and high values (which you would store in a local variable)

for example:

for each element in array

{

if current is less than lowest_value

lowest_value = current

else if current is greater than highest_value

highest_value = current

}

Answer 2

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

int array[100], smallest, size, c, location = 1;

printf("Enter the number of elements\n");

scanf("%d",&size);

printf("Enter %d integers\n", size);

for ( c = 0 ; c < size ; c++ )

scanf("%d", &array[c]);

smallest = array[0];

for ( c = 1 ; c < size ; c++ )

{

if ( array[c] < smallest )

{

smallest = array[c];

location = c+1;

}

}

printf("Smallest element is present at location %d and it's value is %d.\n", location, smallest);

getch();

return 0;

}

Answer 3

I look for the array element that contains the smallest value.
