MATLAB: Choose some data that has a minimum value

programming

hello all,,
i wanna asking about how to choose some data that has a minimum value,,
example :
i do input five data

i've knew that if choose minimum data in matlab use "min" command
but it just give one value
i want in my case, it can choose three data that has minimum value
can someone help me??
this is my code
a= input ('Input Number of Data :');
for c=1:a
        int2 = ['Input The First Score - ',num2str(c),' :'];
        int3 = ['Input The Second Score - ',num2str(c),' :'];
        b(c,1) = input(int2);  
        b(c,2) = input(int3);
    end;
   for d = 1 : 1
        int4= ['Input The First Data :'];
        int5 = ['Input The Second Data :'];
        e(d,1) = input(int4);  
        e(d,2) = input(int5);
   end;
    x = ( b(:,1) - e(1,1)).^2 + (b(:,2) - e(1,2)).^2;
    disp(x)
NB : Sorry for my bad english 🙂

Best Answer

x=[4 1 3 8 2 0 10]
a=sort(x);        % sort x in ascending order
min_value=a(1:3)  % choose the 3 first lowest numbers
