Sure, I'm bored anyway. This is actually OT but I generally don't care.
I'm always ready to help if I can.

Pseudostructure:

Take a value (the first one is easiest) and store it
for each other value
 if the other value is below value then
  store it instead


Turned into C-code below (try solve it yourself first!)



















int get_lowest(int *num)
{
int lowest,
     act_num;

lowest=num[1];
for(act_num=1;act_num<num[0];act_num++)
 if(num[act_num]<lowest)
  lowest=num[act_num];
return(lowest);
}


Untested, but it should work. Hope it helps!
