public class lab  {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

   int[0]userNum = scnr.NextInt();
   number_of_elements = 3;   //number of elements in array
   userNum[0] = 0;

   minVal =  ; 
for (i = 0; i < myVals.length; ++i) {
   if (myVals[i] < minVal) {
      minVal = myVals[i];
   }
}

You are trying to refer to variables that have not been defined, or defined incorrectly.

Java

int[0]userNum = scnr.NextInt();

You cannot declare an array with zero components. Change your code to something like:

Java

int count = scnr.NextInt(); // get the number of variables to process
int[] myVals = new int[count]; // create an array to hold the individual values
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
//
// add code here to read the values you wish to process
// into the individual cells of the "myVals" array.
//
}
//
// add another loop here to find the minimum value
//
