What have you tried to do to solve this problem?
Do you have any specific java programming questions?

Please wrap your code with code tags:

So the question is:
I need to create a program that reads a set of positive integers (for an array). Number reading ends when a negative number is entered.
Then determine which is the smallest element in the set and how many times it was inserted.
The program must show the smallest number entered and how many times it was inserted, on separate lines and with the following format:
smaller = <number>
occurrences = <number of occurrences>

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class program {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int length = 6; // the length should be automatic ends when input is negative
        int num = 0,  i = 0;
 
        int[] numero = new int[i];
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        while ((num >= 0) && (i < numero.length)) {
            num = sc.nextInt();
            if (num >= 0) {
                numero[i] = num;
                i++;
            }
        }
 
        smallerValue(numero);
 
    }
 
    public static int smallerValue(int[] arrvalue) {
        int smaller = arrvalue[0];
 
        for (int i = 1; i < arrvalue.length; i++) {
 
            if (arrvalue[i] < smaller) {
 
                smaller = arrvalue[i];
 
            }
        }
        System.out.println("Smaller value from array" +smaller);
        return smaller;
    }
    public static int occurrencesValue(int[] arrvalue){
          /* not finhised*/
 
    }return occurence;
}

I need to create a program that

Ok, start with the first item in the list that you are having problems with.
Describe the item you are working on and what problems you are having trying to code it.
Post any questions about the problems you are having writing the code for that item from the list.

When you have solved that problem, move to the next item in the list.
