Introduction
I have already explained that an array is a collection of similar data types that contain several elements of the same data type within a single array. So I want to search for the smallest element of an array.
Use the following procedure to create it.
Step 1
First of all you must create a new Windows Store Application.
Open Visual Studio 2012
"File" -> "New" -> "Project..."
Choose "Template" -> "Visual C#" -> "Window Store app"
Choose "Blank App (XAML)" then rename the application
Step 2
Write the following XAML code in "Mainpage.Xaml" (that is available in Solution Explorer):
<Page
x:Class="find_out_smallest_element_of_an_array.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:find_out_smallest_element_of_an_array"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid Background="Red">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="75*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="53*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="54*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="586*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="303*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="275*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="788*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Array content is :" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="Smalllest element is :" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock x:Name="text1" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock x:Name="text2" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Page>
Step 3
Now write the following C# code for the button within "Mainpage.Xaml.cs".
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using Windows.Foundation;
using Windows.Foundation.Collections;
using Windows.UI.Xaml;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Input;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;
namespace find_out_smallest_element_of_an_array
{
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
{
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
int[] arr = { 14, 85, 57, 25, 36, 2, 5, 9, 5, 95 };
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
text1.Text += arr[i] + " ";
}
int smallest = arr[0];
for (int j = 1; j < arr.Length; j++)
{
if (smallest > arr[j])
{
smallest = arr[j];
}
}
text2.Text += smallest.ToString();
}
}
}
Step 4
Now "Run" your app.
