Example: Find Max and Min in Array in C

// Find Max and Min in Array
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    // Step 1: Declare and initialize the array
    int numbers[] = {15, 8, 22, 10, 3, 30, 7, 19};
    int n = sizeof(numbers) / sizeof(numbers[0]); // Calculate the number of elements

    // Step 2: Initialize max_element and min_element with the first element
    int max_element = numbers[0];
    int min_element = numbers[0];

    // Step 3: Iterate through the array starting from the second element
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        // Step 4: Compare current element with max_element
        if (numbers[i] > max_element) {
            max_element = numbers[i]; // Update max_element if a larger value is found
        }

        // Step 5: Compare current element with min_element
        if (numbers[i] < min_element) {
            min_element = numbers[i]; // Update min_element if a smaller value is found
        }
    }

    // Step 6: Print the maximum and minimum elements
    printf("Array elements: ");
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        printf("%d ", numbers[i]);
    }
    printf("\n");
    printf("Maximum element: %d\n", max_element);
    printf("Minimum element: %d\n", min_element);

    return 0;
