    for (i=0; i<5 ; i++)
    {scanf("%d", E[i] );
    min= E[i];
    minInd=i;

    I'll say it nicely before someone shoots you down in flames - crossposting (i.e. posting the same question to more than one forum) is considered jolly bad form old chap. Don't do it.

    Give the peeps here a chance to look at your question, let alone answer it.

    Echo above - DONT cross post its really annoying and against baord rules...anyway...this is more of a C question...its relevant to C++ but totally irrelevant to C#...

    Anyway

    >>scanf("%d", E[i] );


    If you have an array of ints, then you must pass the reference of the array member...not the actual value

    scanf("%d", &E[i] );
