Java How To - Smallest Element in an Array

Example

// An array storing different ages int ages[] = {20, 22, 18, 35, 48, 26, 87, 70}; // Create a 'lowest age' variable and assign the first array element of ages to it int lowestAge = ages[0]; // Loop through the elements of the ages array to find the lowest age
for (int age : ages) {
  // Check if the current age is smaller than the current 'lowest age'
  if (lowestAge > age) {
    // If the smaller age is found, update 'lowest age' with that element lowestAge = age;
  }
}
// Output the value of the lowest age System.out.println("The lowest age in the array is: " + lowestAge);
