How can I write a method with the header: public static int minimum(int i, int j, int k) that runs the smallest of i, j, and k.

How's this?
public static int minimum( int i, int j, int k )
{
   return i < j ? i < k ? i : k : j < k ? j : k;
}


Probably not the most readable or flexible solution!

This is probably better:
public static int minimum( params int [] numbers )
{
   int lowest = int.MaxValue;
   foreach( int i in numbers )
      if( i < lowest )
         lowest = i;
   return lowest;
}


This one allows you to pass any number of ints, or an array of ints.

You can also look at Math.Min() for more general treatment of decimals.
