How to find the smallest number in an array?

Question

I attempted to make a code where:
-only accepts upto 50 integers
-ignores negative numbers
-Takes 0 (zero) as a sentinel value
-computes the sum
-displays the largest and smallest number

I have made a code, my only problem is that is displays the sentinel value as its smallest number.
How do I ignore the sentinel value when taking the smallest number?

Answer 1

You already sorted the array in a way. So to get the minimum value you only refer index zero. To get the maximum value refer to index <count> - 1.

min = arr[ 0 ];
max = arr[ count- 1 ];

Answer 2

You can use if and continue to ignore a certain number.
This condition has to be the first:
if(arr[index] == sentinel){
continue;
}
