To find the minimum element in an array, you can follow these steps:-
1. Initialize a Variable:- Start by initializing a variable, let's call it min, to store the minimum element
found so far. You can set it to the first element of the array.
2. Iterate Through the Array:- Use a loop to iterate through the entire array, starting from the second element
(index 1) and moving to the last element.
3. Comparison:- In each iteration of the loop, compare the current element with the value stored in the min
variable.
4. Update Minimum:- If the current element is smaller than the value stored in min, update the min variable with
the value of the current element. This step ensures that max always holds the minimum value encountered so
far.
5. Repeat:- Continue iterating through the array, comparing each element with the current min, and updating min
whenever a smaller element is found.
6. Completion of Loop:- Once you've gone through the entire array, the variable max will hold the minimum
element in the array.
7. Result:- You can then return the value of min as the minimum element in the array or use it for further
processing, such as displaying the minimum value or performing additional operations based on the minimum
value.
