C Program to find maximum and minimum element using array ?

Hello Friend’s

Today we learn how to find maximum and minimum number at same time using array in c-language.

Before we started our program we need to know about what is array ?

In simple word array is use to store more then one or many constant in one variable

We know, if we declare one variable then we store only one number in that variable but by using array we should store more then one or many number or character in one variable.  

In short Array is use to store multiple number in one variable

You can apply array by placing square brackets after the variable

Note1:  whenever use array it’s compulsory to use loop.

 FOR EXAMPLE :

a[5] à apply square after the variable

a[5] à and inside the square brackets write how many constant you declared in one variable here we declared 5 constant (now you can store five constant in one variable).

a[5]={4,7,3,8,5} à after declaring constant placing equal to sign and inside the curly bracket you can write particular constant. here in this example five constant is 4,7,3,8,5 .

 Now I hope so you are understand concept of array (in this program we use relational operators too).

So now we write our program to find maximum and minimum number at same time.

SOURCE CODE:-

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    int a[5],i;
    printf("enter the number to find max and min value\n");
    for(i=0;i<5;i++){
        scanf("%d",&a[i]);
    }
      int max=a[0];
    for(i=0;i<5;i++){
         if(a[i]>max){
           max=a[i];
         }
    }    
        printf("max number is %d\n",max);
    int min=a[0];
    for(i=0;i<5;i++){
        if(a[i]<min){
            min=a[i];
        }
    }
         printf("min number is %d",min);
   return 0;
}
  

OUTPUT:-

enter the number to find max and min value
34
23
12
67
45
max number is 67
min number is 12
