Determining the smallest number in an array

[leospyder]

System.out.println("The smallest: " + badSalesperson + " made the least money: " + smallest + "Try Harder!" );

}
} [/PHP]

The best way to make these things work is set "smallest" to be larger than the largest possible value ( such as 10000000 or +infinity) and set "largest" to be a value smaller than the smallest possible value (such as -1 if all values are going to be positive ..., are -infinity if negative values are possible). Then you will, for sure, have something smaller/larger ...

there is a bug in the code:

        if (sales[i]>largest)
            {
                largest = sales[i];
                GreatSalesperson = i;
            }
             
        if (sales[i]<smallest)
            {
                smallest = sales[i];
            }
        }

you set GreatSalesperson, but not badSalesperson
