How do I find the smallest value in an array?

java Add comments

One solution would be to loop through the array maintaining the smallest value found in a variable. Another solution would be to first sort the array, then the smallest value would be the first element. 


int[] values = { 2, 67, 15, 3, 567 };

// first approach

int smallest = values[0];
for (int i=1; i<values.length; i++)
{
   smallest = Math.min(smallest, values[i]);
}

// second approach

java.util.Arrays.sort(values);
smallest = values[0];

    singkat banget ya ..

    gmana lo kita di suruh ngoprasiin penjumlahan bilangan dengan type data masukan string.
    tapi operasinya pake int, lalu hasilnya disimpan dalam bentuk string lagi??
