ticket office is difficult (I can't do this)

Question

I coded here.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int ages[5];
double minage;

// for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
// cin >> ages[i];
// }

ages[0] = 27;
ages[1] = 20;
ages[2] = 14;
ages[3] = 40;
ages[4] = 50;

for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
if(ages[i] < 0) {cout << "age is plus"; return 0;}
}

//your code goes here
if(ages[0] <= ages[1]) {
if(ages[0] <= ages[2]) {
if(ages[0] <= ages[3]) {
if(ages[0] <= ages[4]) {
minage = ages[0];
if(50.0 - 0.5 * minage < 0) {cout << 0.0; return 0;}
cout << 50.0 - 0.5 * minage << endl;
}
}
}
}

if(ages[1] <= ages[0]) {
if(ages[1] <= ages[2]) {
if(ages[1] <= ages[3]) {
if(ages[1] <= ages[4]) {
minage = ages[1];
if(50.0 - 0.5 * minage < 0) {cout << 0.0; return 0;}
cout << 50.0 - 0.5 * minage << endl;
}
}
}
}

if(ages[2] <= ages[0]) {
if(ages[2] <= ages[1]) {
if(ages[2] <= ages[3]) {
if(ages[2] <= ages[4]) {
minage = ages[2];
if(50.0 - 0.5 * minage < 0) {cout << 0.0; return 0;}
cout << 50.0 - 0.5 * minage << endl;
}
}
}
}

if(ages[3] <= ages[0]) {
if(ages[3] <= ages[1]) {
if(ages[3] <= ages[2]) {
if(ages[3] <= ages[4]) {
minage = ages[3];
if(50.0 - 0.5 * minage < 0) {cout << 0.0; return 0;}
cout << 50.0 - 0.5 * minage << endl;
}
}
}
}

if(ages[4] <= ages[0]) {
if(ages[4] <= ages[1]) {
if(ages[4] <= ages[2]) {
if(ages[4] <= ages[3]) {
minage = ages[4];
if(50.0 - 0.5 * minage < 0) {cout << 0.0; return 0;}
cout << 50.0 - 0.5 * minage << endl;
}
}
}
}

return 0;
}

I cannot do this with test 3. Why?
If age is NOT zero from 100, how do I do?
Or, please show me the test 3's input data? :)
I will use pen and paper....

Answer 1

Here try this

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int ages[5];

for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
cin >> ages[i];
}
//your code goes here
float m;
float p;
m = ages[0];
for (int x = 1; x < 5; ++x) {
if ( m > ages[x]) {
m = ages[x];
}
}
p = 50 - (50*m/100);
cout << p << endl;

return 0;
}
