Thread: Noob Question

Let's see what you've done so far, and what you're having problems with. Read the sticky notes at the top of the forum while you're at it.

If you have an array, and you're counting through it, then the index of whatever value you're currently looking at, is the counter's value.

Quick example:

Code:

int array[5] = { 1, 4, 6, 8, 0 };
int x;

for( x = 0; x < 5; x++ )
    printf("array[%d] holds %d, the index is %d\n", x, array[x], x );

Try using a variable to keep track of the index you're working on. Pass it as an argument, rather than always using array[0] and array[1]. Return that value when you find the smallest.

is it possible not to use any loops ?

Sure. That was just a quick example.

Code:

void showarray( int size, int array[] )
{
    if( size > -1 )
    {
        printf("array[%d] is %d\n", size, array[size] );
        showarray( size-1, array );
    }
}

I've probably given you too much. But basicly that's all you need for your problem.
