Ex: No: 08 (D) Functions With Arguments & Return Type

This document describes a C program to find the smallest element in an array using a function. The function takes the array and its size as arguments and returns the smallest element. It initializes the first element as the smallest, compares all elements, and updates the smallest if a smaller element is found. Main gets the array size, reads elements, calls the function passing the array and size, and prints the returned smallest element.

EX: NO: 08 (d)FUNCTIONS WITH ARGUMENTS & RETURN TYPE

AIM: To write a c program to find the smallest element of given array of elements using functions.

ALGORITHM: Step 1: Create a function small() Step 2: Inside the function a. Store the 0th index value into base b. Initialize a index to 1 c. Compare the array index value with base d. If the array index value is smaller than base store the array index value into base e. Increment the index by 1 f. Repeat the steps c & e until index reaches total no. of elements g. Return the base value Step 3: Inside the main function a. Create an integer array with necessary size b. Get the total number of elements c. Read the array elements one by one d. Call the small() function by passing array and no. of elements as arguments

FLOWCHART:
start

Read element n

Read array element a[i]

s=a[i]

s=small(a,n)

Print smallest element of an array

stop

PROGRAM: #include<stdio.h> int small(int a[],int n) { int s,i; s=a[0]; for(i=0;i<n;i++) { if(a[i]<s) s=a[i]; } return s; } main() { int i,a[10],n,s; printf("Enter total no. of elements\n"); scanf("%d",&n); printf("Enter Array Elements one by one\n"); for(i=0;i<n;i++) scanf("%d",&a[i]); printf("Array Elemets:\n"); for(i=0;i<n;i++) printf("%d\t",a[i]); printf("\n");

s=small(a,n); printf("The Smallest element of given array is %d",s); } OUTPUT: Enter total no. of elements 5 Enter Array Elements one by one 1 98 2 66 0

Array Elemets: 1 98 2 66 0

The Smallest element of given array is 0

RESULT: Thus the c program to find the smallest element of given array of elements using functions was written, entered, executed and the output was verified.
