No clue if this is an effective way of doing it or not (or if it'll even compile; I haven't tested it), but meh!

min := 0;
min_index = 0;

for i := 1 to 32 do
    if (min_index = 0) or (array < min) then begin
        min_index := i;
        min := array;
    end;

Code: [Select]
min := array[1];

for i := 2 to 32 do
    if (array[i] < min) then begin
        min := array[i];
    end;
