C++ Programming: Smallest Number

Problem: Write a C++ program that finds the smallest among the five integers inputted by the user.

Solution #1:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int a,b,c,d,e,smallest;
cout<<"Enter five numbers \n";
cout<<"Number 1: ";
cin>>a;
cout<<"Number 2: ";
cin>>b;
cout<<"Number 3: ";
cin>>c;
cout<<"Number 4: ";
cin>>d;
cout<<"Number 5: ";
cin>>e;
smallest = a;
if (smallest >b)
    smallest = b;
if (smallest >c)
    smallest = c;
if (smallest >d)
    smallest = d;
if (smallest >e)
    smallest = e;

cout<<"The smallest number is "<<smallest<<endl;
return 0;
}

Solution #2

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int a,b,c,d,e;

cout<<"Enter five numbers \n";

cout<<"Number 1: ";

cin>>a;

cout<<"Number 2: ";

cin>>b;

cout<<"Number 3: ";

cin>>c;

cout<<"Number 4: ";

cin>>d;

cout<<"Number 5: ";

cin>>e;

if (a<b && a<c && a<d && a<e)

    cout<<"The smallest number is "<<a<<endl;

else if (b<a && b<c && b<d && b<e)

    cout<<"The smallest number is "<<b<<endl;

else if (c<a && c<b && c<d && c<e)

    cout<<"The smallest number is "<<c<<endl;

else if (d<a && d<c && d<c && d<e)

    cout<<"The smallest number is "<<d<<endl;

else 

    cout<<"The smallest number is "<<e<<endl;

return 0;

}
