Trying to find lowest input entered but always evaluates to 0 - c

Question

Goal is to have user enter numbers and print highest and lowest entered value. My problem is that the result always evaluates to 0.
I've tried declaring variables inside and outside of the main function. I'd rather keep them in the main function however.
I've also tried to have them undeclared and equal 0 but this just ends up giving me the same result.
float accumulate = 0;
int inpt;
//While loop that lasts until while loop breaks. Printf outside of while loop because it's annoying.
printf("Enter some numbers. Enter -1 to stop.\n");
while (inpt > -1) {
scanf_s("%i", &inpt);
if(inpt < lowest & inpt > 0) {
lowest = inpt;
total++;
accumulate += inpt;
printf("%i\n", lowest);
If I enter 5, 6, 7, I expect the lowest integer to be 5 but it prints out 0

Well there is no clear understanding in what are you trying there to archive.
As long as you have no min and max values to which you can compare it, you can try something like the following approach:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
{
int input = 0;
int min = 0;
int max = 0;
int flag = 0;
int i = 0;
while ( i < 10 ) // stop after 9 Inputs
{
printf( "INPUT = " );
if ( scanf( "%d", &input ) != 1 )
{
printf( "Error,scanf()\n" );
exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
}
if ( flag == 0 )
{
min = input;
flag = 1;
}
if ( input > max )
{
max = input;
}else if ( input < min )
{
min = input;
}
if ( min != max ) // Do not print if input is always the same.
{
printf( "\t\tlow = %d | High = %d\n", min, max );
}
i++;
}
}
Output:
INPUT = 5
INPUT = 6
low = 5 | High = 6
INPUT = 7
low = 5 | High = 7
INPUT = 4
low = 4 | High = 7
INPUT = 5
low = 4 | High = 7
INPUT = 1
low = 1 | High = 7
INPUT = 2
low = 1 | High = 7
INPUT = 8
low = 1 | High = 8
INPUT = 7
low = 1 | High = 8
INPUT = 3
low = 1 | High = 8
Your program needs to know which number is lower and which number is higher if you have no numbers then you have to set them yourself.

Answer 2

I don't really understand what a few of you guys are saying and that code I posted wasn't complete but if anyone is trying to have user input a bunch of numbers and have it return the lowest number,
I got around it by changing
if(inpt < lowest && inpt > 0) {
lowest = inpt;
total++;
accumulate += inpt;
to
if(inpt < lowest && inpt > 0 || lowest == 0) {
lowest = inpt;
total++;
accumulate += inpt;
This puts an OR operator that checks if lowest is set to 0 and will replace it with the first actual number entered
