Write a method smallest_integer which takes as its input an Array of integers and returns the smallest integer in the Array. For example: smallest_integer([1, 2, 3]) # => 1
smallest_integer([0, -10, 10]) # => -10
smallest_integer([-10, -20, -30]) # => -30
If the input Array is empty smallest_integer should return nil.
