Write a C++ program that implements the algorithm to find the smallest number in

Question

Write a C++ program that implements the algorithm to find the smallest number in a list of numbers. The program should continue to read numbers from the keyboard until a value of 0 (zero) is entered. It should then print the smallest number found and exit.

3.Extend the program you wrote in #2 above so that it continuously displays the current smallest number, instead of only at the end. An example program execution is shown below:

Please enter a number (0 to quit): 3

Current smallest number is 3

Currently have this code that finds the smallest number in the list but have no idea on how to keep it going. The current code I have is:

int main(void)
{
int a[8] = {4,5,10,23,2,1,0,2};
list<int> l(a, a+8);
cout << "Smallest number: " << *min_element(l.begin(), l.end()) << ' ';
return 0;
}

Explanation / Answer

#include<stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   int n=2,min;
   printf("Please enter a number (0 to quit): ");
       scanf("%d",n);
   if(n==0)
       exit(1);
   min = n;
   while(1)
   {
       printf("Please enter a number (0 to quit): ");
       scanf("%d",n);
       if(n==0)
           break;
       if(n<min)
           min = n;
   }
   printf("Smallest number is %d",min);
   return 0;
}

#include<stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   int n=2,min;
   printf("Please enter a number (0 to quit): ");
       scanf("%d",n);
   if(n==0)
       exit(1);
   min = n;
   printf("Current smallest number is %d",min);
   while(1)
   {
       printf("Please enter a number (0 to quit): ");
       scanf("%d",n);
       if(n==0)
           break;
       if(n<min)
           min = n;
       printf("Current smallest number is %d",min);
   }
   return 0;
}
