    Finding Lowest Value Of Every Column In A 2d Array

    My array is such: (rows = 3, columns =7)

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    8 9 10 9 8 7 11
    5 4 4 2 1 0 6

    How can i make a method which displays the lowest value of every column while telling what row it is in?

    Re: Finding Lowest Value Of Every Column In A 2d Array

    This method will display the lowest of the whole array:

    public static void findlowest(int[,] Data)
    {
    int min = Data[0, 0];
    for (int r = 0; r < 3; r++)
    {
    for (int c = 0; c < 7; c++)
    {
    if (Data[r, c] < min)
    {
    min = Data[r, c];
    }
    }
    }

    Could i use that to get the three lowest values then compare those?

    Code:
    //.....
    
    int[,] lol = new int[3, 7]{
                {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7},
                {8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7, 11},
                {5, 4, 4, 2, 1, 0, 6}};
    
                int[] min = Min2d(lol);
    
                foreach (int x in min)
                    Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
    
    static int[] Min2d(int[,] a)
            {
                int[] min = new int[a.GetLength(0)];
                for (int i = 0; i < a.GetLength(0); i++)
                {
                    int[] c = new int[a.GetLength(1)];
                    for (int x = 0; x < a.GetLength(1); x++)
                        c[x] = a[i, x];
                    min[i] = c.Min();
                }
                return min;
            }
    This works for every column

    How could i do that without using system.linq? We are not allowed to use it.

    Also, when i tried linq, all i got was
    "1
    7
    0"

    Here is what i did:
    Code:
    using System;
    using System.Linq;
    
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int[,] Data = { { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, }, { 8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7, 11 }, { 5, 4, 4, 2, 1, 0, 6 } };
    
            findlowest(Data);
    
            findaverage(Data);
    
            int[] min = Min2d(Data);
    
            foreach (int x in min)
                Console.WriteLine(x);
    
    
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    
        public static void findlowest(int[,] Data)
        {
            int mineatten = Data[0, 0];
            int r;
            for (r = 0; r < 3; r++)
            {
                for (int c = 0; c < 7; c++)
                {
                    if (Data[r, c] < mineatten)
                    {
                        mineatten = Data[r, c];
                    }
                }
            }
    
            //writeline
        }
    
        public static void findaverage(int[,] Data)
        {
            int sum = 0;
            
            for (int r = 0; r < 3; r++)
            {
                for (int c = 0; c < 7; c++)
                {
                    sum += Data[r, c];
                               
                }
            }
          
            //writeline
        }
    
        static int[]Min2d(int[,] a)
            {
                int Min;
                int[] min = new int[a.GetLength(0)];
                for (int i = 0; i < a.GetLength(0); i++)
                {
                    int[] c = new int[a.GetLength(1)];
                    for (int x = 0; x < a.GetLength(1); x++)
                        c[x] = a[i, x];
                    min[i] = c.Min();
                }
                return min;
            }
    }

    Why? It's not c++, it's c#, an advanced object-oriented language.

    Anyway...
    Code:
    static int[] Min2d(int[,] a)
            {
                int[] min = new int[a.GetLength(0)];
                for (int i = 0; i < a.GetLength(0); i++)
                {
                    int[] c = new int[a.GetLength(1)];
    
                    for (int x = 0; x < a.GetLength(1); x++)
                        c[x] = a[i, x];
    
                    int mi = c[0];
                    foreach (int x in c)
                        mi = x < mi ? x : mi;
    
                    min[i] = mi;
                }
                return min;
            }
    These are the minimum numbers of each one
    "1
    7
    0"

    as you can see
    Code:
    {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}   --> 1
    {8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7, 11} --> 7
    {5, 4, 4, 2, 1, 0, 6}   --> 0
    you mean something different?

    our professor will not allow us to use linq. Part of the reason I have a hard time figuring it out as Im fairly new to programming.

    Your code also displays the lowest value of each row, I need to find each lowest of each column along with what row has it, should display this:

    1 from row 1
    2 from row 1
    3 from row 1
    2 from row 3
    1 from row 3
    0 from row 3
    6 from row 3

    I can display the min value, but how to display the row it is in?
