Question

5-11) (Find the Smallest Value) Write an application that finds the smallest of several integers. Write a program which first asks the user to enter the number of values to enter, then asks for each value, and finally prints out the lowest value of those entered.

Answer 1

Answer:

import java.util.Arrays;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class num4 {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

   Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

       System.out.println("How many numbers? ");

       int n = in.nextInt();

       int []intArray = new int[n];

       //Entering the values

       for(int i=0; i<intArray.length;i++){

           System.out.println("Enter the numbers");

           intArray[i]=in.nextInt();

       }

       System.out.println(Arrays.toString(intArray));

       int min =intArray[0];

       for(int i =0; i<intArray.length; i++){

           if(min>intArray[i]){

               min = intArray[i];

           }

       }

       System.out.println("The Minimum of the numbers is "+min);

   }

}

Explanation:

• Using Java programming language
• Prompt the user for the number of values
• Using Scanner class receive and store in a variable
• Create an array of size n
• Using an for loop continuously ask the user to enter the integers
• Print the array of integers
• Using another for loop with an if statement, find the smallest element in the array of numbers
• Output the the smallest number
