Thread: How to find the smallest 5 numbers in an array?

I can find the smallest number in an array:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    int array[10] = {22,14,3,6,2,37,19,24,9,12};

    int i;
    int smallest = array[0];

     
    for(i = 0; i < 10; i++){ 

               if(array[i] < smallest){
                   smallest = array[i];
               } 
       }
    printf("%d ", smallest);

}

...but how can I get the smallest 5 numbers in an array? I'm struggling with this. Any help? Thanks.
