#include <conio.h>
​
void main()
{
    int a[100], size, i, min;
    printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
    scanf("%d", &size);
    printf("Enter the integers: ");
    for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
    {
        scanf("%d", &a[i]);
    }
    min = a[0];
    for (i = 1; i < size; i++)
    {
        if (a[i] < min)
        {
            min  = a[i];

Q. Write an algorithm to find minimum element in an array.

1. Start
2. Declare an integer array `a` of size 100, integer variables `size`, `i`, `min`.
3. Print "Enter the number of elements in array".
4. Read the integer `size` from user input.
5. Print "Enter the integers:".
6. For `i` from `0` to `size - 1` do:
   1. Read the integer and store it in `a[i]`.
7. Initialize `min` with `a[0]`.
8. For `i` from `1` to `size - 1` do:
   1. If `a[i]` is less than `min` then
    - Set `min = a[i]`.
9. Print "Minimum element in an array is" followed by the value of `min`.
10. End
