Question

2. Write a program that implements the algorithm to find the smallest number in a list of numbers. The program should continue to read numbers from the keyboard until a value of 0 (zero) is entered. It should then print the smallest number found and exit.

3. Extend the program you wrote in #2 above so that it continuously displays the current smallest number, instead of only at the end. An example program execution is shown below:

Please enter a number (0 to quit): 3

Current smallest number is 3

Please enter a number (0 to quit): 5

Current smallest number is 3

Please enter a number (0 to quit): 1

Current smallest number is 1

Please enter a number (0 to quit): 0

The smallest number in your list was 1. Thank you. Goodbye.

Test your program by supplying positive and negative numbers. What happens if you enter 0 as the first number?

Explanation / Answer

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int n;
cout<<"Please enter a number (0 to quit):";
cin>>n;
int sm = n;
while(n){
if( n<sm )sm = n;
cout<<"Please enter a number (0 to quit):";
cin>>n;
}
cout<<"The smallest number in your list was"<<sm;

return 0;
}
