C++ how to find minimum

Question

include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int ages[5];
int minimum = ages[0];
int maximum = ages[0];
int i = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
cin >> ages[i];
}
if (minimum<ages[i]){
minimum = ages[i];
}
if (maximum<ages[i]){
maximum = ages[i];
}
cout << minimum << endl;

return 0;
}
Why won’t it find the minimum

Answer 1

Your minimum and maximum variables are initialized to unpredictable values.

You need to initialize them after the ages have been input.

Your logic to compare minimum is wrong. Use > instead of <.

You need to put the comparisons inside a loop.
