Relative Dating; One fossil is found to be older than another fossil.

Absolute Dating; Age of a fossil is found to be 61.1 million years old.

<h3>How to classify fossils?</h3>

Relative dating is defined as the age of a rock layer (or the fossils it contains) compared to other layers. This dating can be gotten by looking at the position of rock layers. Whereas, absolute dating is the numeric age(specific age) of a layer of rocks or fossils. Absolute age can be determined by using radiometric dating.

1. Relative Dating; One fossil is found to be older than another fossil.

This is because In an excavation of a project area, if we see a set of fossils found 5 meters down, they will be younger than fossils found 17 meters down.

2. Absolute Dating; Age of a fossil is found to be 61.1 million years old.

A fossil analyzed with radiometric dating would have undergone maybe 2 half lives of radioactive isotope.

You are given five integers and your task is to find the smallest of them

Vikentia [17]

The minimum number of comparisons to find the smallest number from 5 integers is 4.

<h3>How to find the Smallest Integer?</h3>

Let the five numbers be a,b,c,d and e.

Let s be an integer

Comparison 1:

a and b will be compared first and the smaller number of them will be equal to s

Comparison 2:

Now, a smaller number between a and b that is s will be compared with c. Similarly, the smaller number of both numbers will be taken as s in the next comparison.

Comparison 3:

Likewise, s and d will be compared and a smaller number will be taken as s for the next comparison

Comparison 4:

Likewise, s and e will be compared and a smaller number will be taken as s for the next comparison.

After 4th comparison, s will be equal to smallest number of 5 integers.

Thus;

Total comparisons = 4

Therefore, the minimum number of comparisons to find the smallest number from 5 integers is 4.
