What is the output of the following section of a program?

int a[8] = {6, 3, 7, 4, 4, 5, 3, 2, 5 };
int b=a[0], c=0;
for(int i=0;i

Question

What is the output of the following section of a program?

int a[8] = {6, 3, 7, 4, 4, 5, 3, 2, 5 };	
int b=a[0], c=0;	
for(int i=0;i<8;i++)
   if(a[i]<b){
		b=a[i];
		c=i;
	}
	cout<<c<<” “a[c]<<endl;
answer should be:    7     and       2
but how come

do you understand how the loops work? simply follow the program along using the numbers given for a[8]

anonymous · Answer

see when in the loop value of i becomes 7 , it tests +ive for the condition that a[7] i.e 5   is smaller then 6 , it goes inside the for loop now c=i i.e c=7 and a[c] ie a[7] inthe array is 2 thus the outputs will be 7 and 2
