    Default Finding the lowest number in an array.

    Shouldn't minstetall be the lowest number here? It only prints 0.

    import java.util.*;
    public class Kap3Oppg5 {
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		int x = 0;
    		int tabell[] = new int[10];
    		int heltall = 0;
    		Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int minstetall = tabell[0];
    		int indeks = 0;
     
    		while (x < 10) {
    			System.out.println("Tast inn neste tall:");
    			heltall = in.nextInt();
    			tabell[x] = heltall;
    			x = x + 1;
    		}
     
    		for (int i=0;i<tabell.length;i++) {
    			if (tabell[i] < tabell[0])
    				minstetall = tabell[i];
     
    		}
     
    		System.out.print(minstetall);
    	}
     
    }

    EDIT: I am happy to report that I solved the problem myself. If anyone should have problems with anything that looks the same, here is the code: (Note that the full task was to find the lowest integer in the array, report which index it had, and swap said number with tabell[0].)

    import java.util.*;
    public class Kap3Oppg5 {
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		int x = 0;
    		int tabell[] = new int[10];
    		int heltall;
    		Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int minstetall = tabell[0]; //
    		int indeks = 0;
     
    		while (x < 10) {
    			System.out.println("Tast inn neste tall:");
    			heltall = in.nextInt();
    			tabell[x] = heltall; //Definerer heltallet som tabell[x]
    			x = x + 1; //Hvor x begynner på 0 og øker til 9.
    		}
     
    		for (int i=0;i<tabell.length;i++) {
    			if (tabell[i] < tabell[indeks])
    				indeks = i;
     
    		}
    		minstetall = tabell[indeks];
    		System.out.println("Det minste tallet er " +minstetall);
    		System.out.println("Dette tallet har indeksen " +indeks);
    		int midlertidig = tabell[indeks];
    		tabell[indeks] = tabell[0];
    		tabell[0] = midlertidig;
    		System.out.println("Den nye rekkefølgen på tallene er: ");
    		System.out.println(tabell[0]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[1]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[2]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[3]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[4]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[5]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[6]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[7]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[8]);
    		System.out.println(tabell[9]);
    	}
     
    }
