Finding the minimum value contained in an array.

Define a function template for finding the minimum value contained in an array. Write main( ) function to find the minimum value of integer array and the minimum value of floating point numbers in an array.

#include<iostream.h>

#include<conio.h>

template<class T>

T minimum(T a[],int size)

{

T min=a[0];

for(int i=0;i<size;i++)

{

if(a[i]<min)

min=a[i];

}

return min;

}

int main()

{

int a[10],size,i,min1;

float b[10],min2;

clrscr();

cout<<"Enter the size value:\n";

cin>>size;

cout<<"Enter the integer array elements\n";

for(i=0;i<size;i++)

cin>>a[i];

cout<<"Enter the floating array elements\n";

for(i=0;i<size;i++)

cin>>b[i];

min1=minimum(a,size);

min2=minimum(b,size);

cout<<"The minimum integer element is:\n";

cout<<min1;

cout<<"\nThe minimum floating element is :\n";

cout<<min2;

getch();

return 0;

}

The output of the above program is:

Enter the size value:

5

Enter the integer array elements

20

30

10

38

28

Enter the floating array elements

20.4

19.7

14.8

1.7

2.6

The minimum integer element is:

10

The minimum floating element is :

1.7
