C Exercises: Find the maximum and minimum element in an array
C Array: Exercise-9 with Solution
Write a program in C to find the maximum and minimum elements in an array.
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int arr1[100];
int i, mx, mn, n;
printf("\n\nFind maximum and minimum element in an array :\n");
printf("--------------------------------------------------\n");
printf("Input the number of elements to be stored in the array :");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("Input %d elements in the array :\n",n);
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
printf("element - %d : ",i);
scanf("%d",&arr1[i]);
}
mx = arr1[0];
mn = arr1[0];
for(i=1; i<n; i++)
{
if(arr1[i]>mx)
{
mx = arr1[i];
}
if(arr1[i]<mn)
{
mn = arr1[i];
}
}
printf("Maximum element is : %d\n", mx);
printf("Minimum element is : %d\n\n", mn);
}
Sample Output:
Find maximum and minimum element in an array : -------------------------------------------------- Input the number of elements to be stored in the array :3 Input 3 elements in the array : element - 0 : 45 element - 1 : 25 element - 2 : 21 Maximum element is : 45 Minimum element is : 21
