C Program: Smallest Element from Matrix (User Defined Function)
Question: Write a program in C to read m x n matrix and find smallest element from it using user defined functions.
#include<stdio.h>
float small(float a[10][10], int m, int n);
int main()
{
int i,j,m,n;
float a[10][10], res;
printf("Enter row and column size:\n");
scanf("%d%d", &m, &n);
printf("Enter matrix elements:\n");
for(i=0;i< m;i++)
{
for(j=0;j< n;j++)
{
printf("a[%d][%d]=",i,j);
scanf("%f", &a[i][j]);
}
}
res = small(a,m,n);
printf("Smallest = %f\n", res);
return 0;
}
float small(float a[10][10], int m, int n)
{
int i,j;
float sm = a[0][0];
for(i=0;i< m;i++)
{
for(j=0;j< n;j++)
{
if(a[i][j]< sm)
{
sm = a[i][j];
}
}
}
return(sm);
}
