C program to find minimum element in array

C programming code

#include <stdio.h>

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[0];

    for ( c = 1 ; c < size ; c++ ) 

    {

        if ( array[c] < minimum ) 

        {

           minimum = array[c];

           location = c+1;

        }

    } 

    printf("Minimum element is present at location %d and it's value is %d.\n", location, minimum);

    return 0;

}

Output of program:

Enter the number of elements in array

4

Enter  4  integers

3

9

5

7

Minimum element is present at location 2  and it's value is 9
