find index number??

[Milad87]

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

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
