Hi i came up with the following code for my Assignment.It works.What i dont understand was the following code, the rest of the code i did myself.
if ( value == 1 )
smallest = randomNum;
Why do i need to assign value to 1?
Rest of my codes
System.out.println("How many integers shall we compare? (Enter a positive integer):");
ii = input.nextInt();
for (value = 1;value<=ii; value++)
{
System.out.print("Enter value " + value + ":");
randomNum = input.nextInt();
if ( value == 1 )
smallest = randomNum;
else if (randomNum < smallest)
smallest = randomNum;
}
System.out.println("The smallest number entered was: " + smallest);
}
}
.
