It is either "1" or "0".

There is a philosophical dispute among mathematicians as to whether the number zero counts as a natural number. I think the Phoenicians introduced the concept of zero in written numbers, but even before them, there was always a natural concept of "one apple" and "no apple."

Therefore, I'd argue that the smallest one digit natural number is zero.

Write a Shell program to find the smallest digits of a number?

You can create a Shell script to find the smallest digit of a number by iterating through its digits. Here's a simple example: #!/bin/bash read -p "Enter a number: " number smallest=9 for (( i=0; i<${#number}; i++ )); do digit=${number:$i:1} if (( digit < smallest )); then smallest=$digit fi done echo "The smallest digit is: $smallest" This script prompts the user for a number, checks each digit, and prints the smallest one.
