Pancake Glutton string array

Hello. I am trying to do an exercise I found somewhere on this discussion boards. It is called "Pancake Glutton." It seems that I am doing something wrong. On the last part, when I try to output the name_max and name_min, for some reason I don't get anything for name_min.

Here is the code.

/********************************************


Pancake Glutton
Requires:
variables, data types, and numerical operators
basic input/output
logic (if statements, switch statements)
loops (for, while, do-while)
arrays

Write a program that asks the user to enter the number of pancakes eaten for breakfast by 10
different people (Person 1, Person 2, ..., Person 10). Once the data has been entered the
program must analyze the data and output which person ate the most pancakes for breakfast.

+ Modify the program so that it also outputs which person ate the least number of pancakes for breakfast.

++++ Modify the program so that it outputs a list in order of number of pancakes eaten of all 10 people.
i.e.
Person 4: ate 10 pancakes
Person 3: ate 7 pancakes
Person 8: ate 4 pancakes
...
Person 5: ate 0 pancakes


********************************************/

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

void newline()
{
	cout << endl;
}

int main()
{
	int i, max, min,
		number[10];
	string name_max, name_min, name[10];
		
	for ( i = 0; i < 3; ++i ) {
		cout << "Enter the name and # for person " << i + 1 << " :";
		cin >> name[i] >> number[i];

		if (i == 0) {
		max = number[0];
		min = number[0];
		}

		if ( max < number[i] ) {
			max = number[i];
			name_max = name[i];
		} else if ( min > number[i] ) {
			min = number[i];
			name_min = name [i];
		}
	}
	newline();
	cout << name_max << " ate " << max << " pancakes" << endl;
	cout << name_min << " ate " << min << " pancakes" << endl;
	

	system ("pause");
	return 0;
}


Thanks

    if (i == 0) {
    max = number[0];
    min = number[0];
    name_max = name[0];
    name_min = name[0];
    }

Thank You. It was so obvious!
