Question

Write a script that finds the smallest of several nonnegative integers. Assume that the first value read specifies the number of values to be input from the user.

Hint: No need for Array declaration. Think like a while loop and iterate as many number as users will input. Then keep a temporary variable to keep track of the minimum.

Thanks for the question.

Here is the completed python script for this problem.

# that the first value read specifies the number of values to be input from the user.
number_of_values = int(input('Enter the number of values: '))
min_number = int()  # Then keep a temporary variable to keep track of the minimum.
counter = 0

# A while loop and iterate as many number as users will input.
while counter < number_of_values:
    number = int(input('Enter a non-negative number:'))
    if counter == 0:
        min_number = number
    elif min_number > number:
        min_number = number
    counter += 1

print('The smallest number entered was', min_number)
