Beginner: Min Value in Array (Java) -

when execute program, prints max value fine, min value prints zero. continue scratching head... can see wrong here? looking.

    import java.util.scanner;     public class minmax     {      public static void main(string[] args)     {         scanner kb = new scanner(system.in);         int [] numbers = new int[5];         int max = numbers[0];          int min = numbers[0];          (int = 0; < numbers.length; i++)         {             system.out.println("enter next number:");             numbers[i] = kb.nextint();             if (numbers[i] > max)             {                 max = numbers[i];             }             if (min > numbers[i])             {                 min = numbers[i];             }         }          system.out.println("the maximum value in array " + max);         system.out.println("the minimum value in array " + min);     }  } 

the issue when array declared, ints in array set 0. setting min numbers[0] set min 0. if that's not min, code fail.

in case, don't need array - store whatever user inputted. aside, check whether i==0 , when does, set min , max numbers[0]. (if didn't same max, array of negatives fail.)
