what is the problem in this code

# include <iostream> using namespace std; void min(float* array); int main() { float numbers[10] ={12.0, 23.2, 54.6, 84.0, 2.3, 24.2, 73.5, 7.0, 11.2, 4.5}; float min; min = min(&numbers); cout<<"the smallest number is: "<<min; return 0; } void min(float* array) {      float *array;      float min; for(int i=0; i<10; i++) if(*array<min) min= array[i]; return min; }

- Same variable and function names (min) - min has initial value of 0, so nothing is less than it with the given values - If is always checking against first array element. https://code.sololearn.com/cI6eQFer4qYp/?ref=app Note: same adjusments are applied by rodwynnejones already, I'll just leave this as explanation.

compare:- #include <iostream> using namespace std; float minfltfunct(float *arr); int main() { float numbers[10] = {12.0, 23.2, 54.6, 84.0, 2.3, 24.2, 73.5, 7.0, 11.2, 4.5}; float minfloat; minfloat = minfltfunct(numbers); cout << "the smallest number is: " << minfloat; return 0; } float minfltfunct(float *arr){ float minfloat = arr[0]; for(int i = 1; i < 10; i++) if(arr[i] < minfloat) minfloat = arr[i]; return minfloat; }
