Question

Write a function my_min(L) that takes an array L of real numbers or integers and returns the smallest value in the array. Write the function "from scratch", without using any min function defined in the python libraries.

Test your function on the array A below and show the result.

A = [12, 45, 23, 22, 42, 15, 17, 15, 73, 36, 7, 13, 38, 43, 53, 86, 40, 45, 63, 74]

Expert Solution

Step 1

Programming instructions:

Define the array with values.
Call the function and pass the array with it.
In the function, store the first item in a variable 'min'.
Loop through the array and compare the value of a variable 'min' with items of the array.
If any item is less than the min, min will store the value of that item.
In the end, min will hold the smallest item in the array.
Print the minimum value.
