int a=rand(); int b=rand(); int c=rand(); std::vector<int> vec; vec.push_back(a); vec.push_back(b); vec.push_back(c); std::cout<< *std::min_element(vec.begin(),vec.end())<<std::endl;

Can we find out why you're interested in such a silly problem? Logic please.

I'm a programmer. My attitude starts with arrogance, holds steady at condescension, and ends with hostility. Get used to it.

Then why are you asking us what the answers are?

It's funny, but almost all of sunnypalsingh's questions sound like questions that an idiot teacher would ask. Knowing the answer to such questions doesn't help anyone understand programming and definately doesn't help a programmer develop good technique.
Did we help you? Did we miss the point entirely? Update your thread and let us know.

Actually, I have had this sort of question, and it was appropriate for the class I was taking. It doesn't help anyone understand programming, but it helps some understand how integers are represented, or why they are represented the way that they are.

Really? How long did you try? If you tried again for the same length of time, would you necessarily not be able to solve the problem then? If you can't be creative enough and effortful enough to solve this problem, how will you ever be creative enough to come up with solutions to harder problems?
The benefit of this problem is that in solving it, you'll improve your creativity. Yes, creativity is learned. Well, conditioned, maybe. At least the problem-solving kind of creativity is. Anyway, this skill is important to your ability in the arena of computer programming, and you might as well get good at it now, or else you'll suck forever.
