write a C++ program that repeatedly prompts a user to input a positive integer value.

write a C++ program that repeatedly prompts a user to input a positive integer value. At any point, if the user enters 0 or a negative integer value, then the program should print the minimum of all of the positive integer values entered by the user, and then terminate execution.For example, if a user enters the values 4 13 8 11 2 66 5 0, then the program should report that the smallest of the positive values entered is 2.

Excuse me, I am new for stackoverflow. Here is the code I wrote so far. However, it keeps printing the last 0 or negative number I inserted, not the minimum number. Thank You!

`# include <iostream>`
`using namespace std;`
`int main(){`
`int x, y;`
`cout<<"enter number";`
`cin>>x;`
`while(x!=0){`
`cout<<"enter another number";`
`cin>>y;`
`if (y<x)`
`x=y;`
`if (y>x)`
`x=x;`
`if (y<=0)`
`x=x;`
`}`
`cout<<"the minimum number is"<<x;`
return 0;
}

Please use code tags when posting code and why is each line delimited by `?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() 
{
    int x, y;

    cout << "enter number";
    cin >> x;

    while (x != 0) {
        cout << "enter another number";
        cin >> y;

        if (y < x)
            x = y;

        if (y > x)
            x = x;

        if (y <= 0)
           x = x;
    }

    cout << "the minimum number is" << x;

    return 0;
}

If y > x or y <= 0 then you are setting x equal to x which doesn't change anything so these lines can be omitted.

To terminate the loop, you are checking x for 0. You are then displaying that the minimum value is x - which is 0! So this always displays 0!

PS This is codeguru, not stackoverflow! If you are going to x-post, at least change the name in the post !

Excuse me for the mistake I did. The important thing is I did the code and it works!

# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int number;
cout <<"enter number"<<endl;
cin>> number;
int min=number;
while(number>0){
if (number<min){
min=number;
}
cout<<"enter another number"<<endl;
cin>>number;
}
cout<<"the minimum number is"<<endl<<min;
return 0;

}
