Last occurrence? smallest item?

[ejkang62]

i don't understand several functions following do..
these are examples of my project

string people[5] = { "samwell", "jon", "margaery", "daenerys", "tyrion" };

int locateMinimum( const string array[ ],int n );

the explanation says the

locateMinimum(people,5)  //returns 3 corresponding to the index of "daenerys".  

i don't understand what it's meant by "smallest item" it doesn't seem like the size or length

I believe it's the lexicographical order of the array, i.e. the string which would be first if they were in alphabetical order.
