Current implementation: The program reads two numbers from the keyboard and displays the minimum.
New task: The program reads five numbers from the keyboard and displays the minimum.

Requirements:

The program should read the numbers from the keyboard.
The class must have a public static void main method.
The class must have a public static min method that takes 5 int arguments.
The min method must return the minimum of the 5 passed numbers. If there are several minimum numbers, return any of them.
The program should display a string that starts with "Minimum = ".
The program should display a string that ends with the minimum of the 5 entered numbers.

Just declare the min method with 5 arguments like

public static int min(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e)

, then declare an if-else statement where the condition compares the five input numbers.

Nothing, basically! codegym simply wants you to do the number comparison in the 'min' method and do it with 5 arguments.
