find index number??

hi there if I have an array that looks like this

dataType[] arrayName = {3, 0, 5, 20, 8};

how can I find the smallest number in it??

and how can I return the index number of them all??

Im a beginner so go easy on me :)

thanks for helping

Here is how you can find the smallest number

Code:

---

public static void main(String[] args)
{
        final int[] array = { 3, 0, 5, 20, 8 };

        // The easy way
        java.util.Arrays.sort(array);
        System.out.println("Min value = " + array[0]);

        // The right way
        int min = array[0];
        for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i++)
                if (array[i] < min)
                        min = array[i];
        System.out.println("Min value = " + min);
}

But I have no idea what the "index number" means

the index is the position number the number has in the array:)

Ok in this sample. i is the index of each item
