Question about the task

Improving functionality

Java Syntax, Level 5, Lesson 12

Why do you need this method?

public static int min(int minim, int e) {
    return minim < e ? minim : e;
}

This method is clearly superfluous.

I don't catch your meaning? It is a very useful method for solving the task. You can use that method inside the min method with 5 numbers to do all your comparisons instead of writing code from scratch. for 5 numbers a, b, c, d, e a = min(a, b); c = min(c,d); a = min(a,c); return min(a,e); Solved for 5 numbers

I understand the method for 5 elements, which corresponds to the conditions of the problem. But why is there a method for 2 elements, because in the problem statement this is not required, or I did not understand the task?

"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."

I was thinking about 5! = 120, and I found your's is much better... Thank you.

I see that you can get one number with the minimum value with the ternary operator, but can you also find 2 numbers with a minimum value with the ternary operator?
