1) You have to create a function "min" and not main 2) You have to use parentesis in construct like if as: if(condition){ statements } else { other statements } 3) in c++ you have to declare variable types in functions parameters also like int min(int first, int second).... Sincerally i see much very basic errors then i suggest to read your learning resource

#include<iostream> using namespace std ; int min(int first , int second ) { return (a<b ? a:b ) ; } int main() { int a, b ; int s_no ; // small_number cout << "Enter two number " ; cin >> a>> b ; s_no = min(a,b) ; cout << "Small number = " << s_no ; return 0 ; }

Farnaz.A `cin >> a,b >> endl` ? This is so wrong. There's no comma & endl in std::cin. Plus, don't take input from functions, but rather do Min(int a, int b){...} Then after main: int x, y; std::cin >> x >> y; Min(x,y); And, you can make ternary return statement, e.g `return a > b ? a : b;`. Check Martin Taylor 's code about them.

This example is good to tell people why they should avoid <bits/stdc++.h> & using namespace std; Well because bits will call the <algorithm> library & namespace will call `std::min` thus resulting in an error.

same as Haider Ali Waris int min(int first, int second) { return (first<second ? first:second); } I think best the above code☺
