Find the index of the smallest number in an array

Program

public class SmallestNumberIndex 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		 int a[] = new int[]{12,44,23,56,9,23,78,13};

	       int min = a[0];
	       int index=0;

	       for(int i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
	       {
	            if(min > a[i])
	            {
	                min = a[i];
	                index=i;
	            }
	        }

	        System.out.println("Index position of Smallest value in a given array is  :  "+index);
	}
	
}

Output

Index position of Smallest value in a given array is : 4
