Re: [Dev-C++] help on a loop

You loadthe first integer into min_so_far.

However, your for loop should _not_ use min_so_far as max, and you
shouldn't input the total count into i but into num...

How about trying to read your own code, and think a bit if it makes
sense... If you compile your code with full warnings (-Wall) the compiler
would probaby give you a couple of warnings.

By the way, you have one int i directly inside main() but declare a new
int i inside the for().
