array.Add(num * (rnd.Next(0, 1000)%2==0?-1:1));

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
long min = array[0];
int k = 0,j=1;

for (int i = 1; i < array.Length; i++,k++)
{

j++;
}
}
DateTime after = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan time= after - now;
Console.WriteLine("The smallest number: "+min);
Console.WriteLine("Total time: "+(time.Milliseconds+time.Seconds*1000)+" miliseconds");
Console.WriteLine("Total number of assignment operations: "+(3+k+j));
Console.WriteLine("Total number of comparison operations: " + (2 + k * 2));
Console.WriteLine("The loop was executed: "+ k +" time(s)");
return min;
