Answer:

Yes.

Finding the minimum in an Array

Here is a program that finds the minimum of an array. It is similar to the maximum-finding program:


class MinAlgorithm
{

  public static void main ( String[] args ) 
  {

    int[] array =  { -20, 19, 1, 5, -1, 27, 19, 5 } ;
    int   min;

    // initialize the current minimum
     ;

    // scan the array
    for ( int index=0; index < array.length; index++ )
    { 
      if  

         ;

    }
      
    System.out.println("The minimum of this array is: " + min );
  }
}

Question 15:
Fill in the blanks. Select from the following phrases.
min = array[8]
min = array[0]
min = array[ index ]
array[ index ] == min
array[ index ] > min
array[ index ] < min
index++
You can copy and paste from the phrases into the blanks. (Hint: only some of the phrases are used.)
