By the way, here's what I think it should look like:

            temp2 = -99;
 
 
            while (number != SENTINEL)
            {               // open while 3

                cin >> number;
 
                if (number == -99) {
                    break;
                }
                if (number < temp2 || temp2 == -99)
                    temp2 = number;
             }

temp2 = -99; while (number != SENTINEL) { // open while 3 counter++; cin >> number; if (number == -99) { break; } if (number < temp2 || temp2 == -99) temp2 = number; }

Probably not the best way of doing it, but it works.
