Question

Write an algorithm for the smallest of two numbers

Answer 1

We can find the smaller of two numbers a and b using if-else or using ternary operator

1)Using ternary operator

However when a and b are equal then the test condition becomes false and hence the program prints b is smaller than a

2)Using If-Else Statement

Answer 2

The algorithm for the above problem is as follows:

Explanation:

• Input the first number.
• Input the second number.
• Check, Is the first number is smaller than the second number or not.
• If yes, print the first number.
• If no, Print the second number.

Detailed Explanation:

• The above line refers to the algorithm to find the smallest number if there are two numbers known to the user.
• If any user wants to get profit from the above algorithm, then he needs two numbers which can be solved and get the smallest number after follows the above processor.
• The above line is written in the English language because the step by step processor in the English language written in an algorithm only.
