Find the smallest of three integers

Tommy Profeta

Write an app that finds the smallest of several integers. Assume
that the first value read specifies the number of values to input from the user. when the user is prompted to "Enter the number of values to read: " that he is required to enter a positive integer before the application will continue.

Thanks

Accepted answer
The following should give the output in that exact format:

using System;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int n;

Console.Clear();

do
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of values to read: ");
int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out n);
if (n < 1) Console.WriteLine("Please enter a positive integer.\n");
}
while (n < 1);

int min = int.MaxValue;
int v = 0;

Console.WriteLine();

for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
Console.Write("Enter a value ({0} remaining): ", n - i);
int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out v);
if (v < min) min = v;
}

Console.WriteLine("\nThe smallest number entered is: {0}", min);
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue . . .");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}

No photo was attached but instead of the highlighted line in my previous post, add this line instead:

if (i < n) Console.WriteLine("Only {0} attempt(s) remaining\n", n - i);

Thank you....How can I get the app to show "Only 4 attempts remaining"? Please see attached photo...

Like this perhaps:

using System;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int n;
do
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of values to read : ");
int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out n);
}
while (n < 1);

int min = int.MaxValue;
int v = 0;

for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
Console.Write(" Value {0} : ", i);
int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out v);
if (i < n) Console.WriteLine("{0} value(s) remaining\n", n - i);
if (v < min) min = v;
}

Console.WriteLine("\nThe smallest number entered is {0}", min);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}

Try this:

using System;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int n;
do
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of values to read : ");
int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out n);
}
while (n < 1);

int min = int.MaxValue;
int v = 0;

for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
Console.Write(" Value {0} : ", i);
int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out v);
if (v < min) min = v;
}

Console.WriteLine("\nThe smallest number entered is {0}", min);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
