Scala Program: Find the minimum element in a set

Scala Set Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a Scala program to create a set and find the minimum element in the set.

Sample Solution:

Scala Code:

object MinElementSetExample {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    // Create a set
    val nums = Set(10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

    // Print the set
    println("Set: " + nums)

    // Find the minimum element in the set
    val minElement = nums.min

    // Print the minimum element
    println("Minimum element: " + minElement)
  }
}

Sample Output:

Set: HashSet(10, 20, 50, 40, 30)
Minimum element: 10

Explanation:

In the above exercise,

• First, we create a set "nums" with the elements 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.
• To find the minimum element in the set, we use the "min()" method, which returns the minimum element in the set.
• In the program, we find the minimum element in the set by using the line val minElement = set.min.
• Finally, we print the set and the minimum element.
