C program to find minimum value using function

Our function returns index at which minimum element occur.

#include 
int find_minimum(int[], int);
 
int main() {
  int c, array[100], size, location, minimum;
 
  printf("Input number of elements in array\n");
  scanf("%d", &size);
 
  printf("Input %d integers\n", size);
 
  for (c = 0; c < size; c++)
    scanf("%d", &array[c]);
 
  location = find_minimum(array, size);
  minimum  = array[location];
 
  printf("Minimum element location = %d and value = %d.\n", location + 1, minimum);
  return 0;
}

int find_minimum(int a[], int n) {
  int c, index = 0;
 
  for (c = 1; c < n; c++)
    if (a[c] < min)
      index = c;

  return index;
}

C programming code Using pointers

#include 
int main()
{
    int array[100], *minimum, size, c, location = 1;
   
    printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
    scanf("%d", &size);
   
    printf("Enter %d integers\n", size);
   
    for (c = 0; c < size; c++)
        scanf("%d", &array[c]);
   
    minimum = array;
    *minimum = *array;
   
    for (c = 1; c < size; c++)
    {
        if (*(array+c) < *minimum)
        {
           *minimum = *(array+c);
           location = c+1;
        }
    }
   
    printf("Minimum element found at location %d and it's value is %d.\n", location, *minimum);
    return 0;
}

C program to find smallest number in an array

#include 
int main()
{
  int array[100], size, c, location = 0;

  printf("Enter number of elements in array\n");
  scanf("%d", &size);

  printf("Enter %d integers\n", size);

  for (c = 0; c < size; c++)
    scanf("%d", &array[c]);

  for (c = 1; c < size; c++)
    if (array[c] < array[location])
      location = c;

  printf("Minimum element is present at location %d and its value is %d.\n", location+1, array[location]);
  return 0;
