Finding the minimum with a for statement

Question

Ok so Ive got this program and I need to find the minimum value from the 10 values that are entered by a user, my problem is I cant figure out to initialize the variable minNum, Im not sure how to do it with a for loop, if I set it to zero, then zero will always be the minimum, so Im not sure how to make it so it takes the first value as the minimum then compares each value entered after that to see if the value is smaller, and I have to use a for loop for this problem, my professor specified which loop to use, so heres the code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Exercise52Chapt6
  public static void main(String[] args)
            Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
              int minNum;  // stores the minimum of 10 numbers
                       int number;  // stores the current input
                       for ( int i = 1; i <= 10; i++ )
                System.out.print( "Enter an integer > " );
                               number = scan.nextInt( );
                    if(number < minNum)
                    minNum = number;
          // process results by printing the minimum
          System.out.println( "The minimum is: " + minNum );
}

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test
  public static void main(String[] args)
                Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
                    int minNum=0;  // stores the minimum of 10 numbers
                      int number;  // stores the current input
                      for ( int i = 1; i <= 10; i++ )
                        System.out.print( "Enter an integer > " );
                            number = scan.nextInt( );
                            if(i==1){
                                minNum = number;
                                continue;
                            if(number < minNum)
                                minNum = number;
                // process results by printing the minimum
                System.out.println( "The minimum is: " + minNum );
}
