Hi everyone, im new to this and am looking for some help. Im doing a java course in college. Its only a basic intro to java but its quite difficult. im on a question that requires me to use loops.....
Find the smallest number in a list of 10 integers.
i think i have to ask for an input of 10 numbers then output which is the smallest
any help is greatly appreciated.
Andy
Here's a breakdown to get you started, post your code when you get stuck:
1. Read each of the ten numbers from input.
2. Store each number in an array
3. After all numbers are input, set the minimum to the first number.
4. loop over the array, if the current number is lower than the minimum, set the minimum to the current number.
5. Print out the minimum.

You said you can't use arrays, but yet you're talking about a list (a sort of array).

I'm afraid you can only be helped if you know the exact requirement of your assignment.
When you do, please post your question in the New To Java section of this forum, since this has little to do with algrithms:
