C Program To Find Smallest Of 5 Numbers Using if-else

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to write a C program to find the smallest of 5 numbers using if-else. In the following example, we ask the user to enter 5 numbers using scanf function, and then we consider the first input as the minimum. Then we compare it with other inputs.
 

 

 

C Program To Find Smallest Of 5 Numbers Using if-else

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int a,b,c,d,e;
	
    printf("Enter 1st number: ");
    scanf("%d",&a);

    printf("Enter 2nd number: ");
    scanf("%d",&b);
	
    printf("Enter 3th number: ");
    scanf("%d",&c);
	
    printf("Enter 4th number: ");
    scanf("%d",&d);

    printf("Enter 5th number: ");
    scanf("%d",&e);
	
    int min = a;
	
    if (b < min) min = b;
    if (c < min) min = c;
    if (d < min) min = d;
    if (e < min) min = e;

    printf("\nMin is %d", min);
	
    return 0;
}

Output:

Enter 1st number: 5
Enter 2nd number: 12
Enter 3th number: 4
Enter 4th number: 6
Enter 5th number: 7

Min is 4
