To find both the largest and smallest number in a list of integers

Description:

This program contains n number of elements, in these elements we can find the largest and smallest numbers and display these two numbers

Algorithm:

Step 1: start Step 2: read n

Step 3: initialize i=0

Step 4: if i<n do as follows. If not goto step 5 Read a[i]

Increment i

Goto step 4

Step 5: min=a[0], max=a[0]

           Step 6: initialize i=0

Step 7: if i<n do as follows. If not goto step 8

            If a[i]<min

 Assign min=a[i]

 increment i goto Step 7

Step 8: print min,max

Step 9: stop

Output:

1. enter the array size:4
Enter the elements of array 36 13 2 45
maximum value is:45
    minimum value is:2
2.enter the array size:5
Enter the elements of array 6 2  1   3 8
maximum value is:8
minimum value is:1
3.enter the array size:5
Enter the elements of array-6 9 -9 2 5
   maximum value is:9
minimum value is:-9

conclusion: the program is error free
