Questions: Write a program in C to read an array containing n elements and find third smallest element from an array.
Program
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
float a[100], temp;
int i, j, n;
printf("Enter n (>3):");
scanf("%d", &n);
/* Reading Array */
printf("Enter numbers:\n");
for(i=0;i< n;i++)
{
printf("a[%d]=",i);
scanf("%f",&a[i]);
}
/* Sorting array in ascending order */
for(i=0;i< n-1;i++)
{
for(j=i+1;j< n;j++)
{
if(a[i]>a[j])
{
temp = a[i];
a[i] = a[j];
a[j] = temp;
}
}
}
/* Displaying result */
printf("Third smallest = %f ",a[2]);
return(0);
}
