Kata Day 5: Find the smallest integer in the array

Problem Description: Find the smallest integer in the array.

Given an array of integers your solution should find the smallest integer. For example:

Given [34, 15, 88, 2] your solution will return 2

Given [34, -345, -1, 100] your solution will return -345

You can assume, for the purpose of this Kata, that the supplied array will not be empty.

This Kata was easy to solve if we know how to use sort function in Javascript. Sorting an array using a function is slightly different from the way we used sort function in Python where we can just directly get a sorted array by using a sort function against the given array.

In Javascript we have to use the sort function with a bit of additional code in order to sort an array of given integers. 

Sorting an array in Javascript is done in following manner:

arr.sort(function(a, b){return a-b});

This sorts the array in ascending order. 

To read further on this you can follow this MDN link: Sort in Javascript

Once we have got a sorted array we can return the first element of the array which will give us the smallest integer of that array.
