Python program to find smallest number in a list

Given a list of numbers, the task is to write a Python program to find the smallest number in given list.

Examples:

Input : list1 = [10, 20, 4]
Output : 4

Input : list2 = [20, 10, 20, 1, 100]
Output : 1

# list of numbers
list1 = [10, 20, 4, 45, 99]
# sorting the list
list1.sort()
# printing the first element
print("Smallest element is:", *list1[:1])

Output:

smallest element is: 4

Method 2 : Using min() method

# list of numbers
list1 = [10, 20, 1, 45, 99]
# printing the maximum element
print("Smallest element is:", min(list1))

Output:

Smallest element is: 1
