minimum foction in csharp

To find the minimum value among a group of numbers in C#, we can create a function that takes an array or list of numbers as input, and iterates through the list to find the minimum value. Here's an example:

main.cs
public static int FindMinimum(int[] numbers)
{
    int min = numbers[0]; // assume first number is the minimum
    
    // iterate through the remaining numbers
    for (int i = 1; i < numbers.Length; i++)
    {
        if (numbers[i] < min)
        {
            min = numbers[i]; // update the minimum value
        }
    }
    
    return min;
}

In this function, we set the first number in the input array as the minimum value, and then iterate through the remaining numbers to check if any of them are smaller than the current minimum. If we find a smaller number, we update the minimum value.

We can then call this function and pass it an array of numbers to find the minimum value:

main.cs
int[] numbers = { 5, 3, 8, 2, 9 };
int min = FindMinimum(numbers);
Console.WriteLine("Minimum value: " + min);

This will output: "Minimum value: 2".
