Refer to the function prototype above for parameter and return type info. PSEUDOCODE: Declare two int variables (you decide on appropriate variable names): * 1 variable to hold each value as it is read from file * 1 variable to hold the lowest value read so far (initialize to INT_MAX)

Read the first value from the file into the appropriate local variable Repeat while not at end of file - Test to see if the new value is smaller than the lowest read so far If yes, save the new value to the lowest so far variable Read the next value from the file End the repeat

Return the smallest value that was read
