Question

5. Write Java code for a loop that simultaneously computes both the maximum and minimum of an array.

Answer 1

Java Code:

/* Java program that finds the maximum and minimum values present in the array */

class ArrayMaxMin
{
   //Main method
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
       //Array to hold integer values
       int[] values = {23,6,18,4,85,92,38,2,143,64};
      
       //Finding max and min values
       findMinMax(values);
   }
  
   //Method that simultaneously computes both the maximum and minimum of an array
   public static void findMinMax(int[] values)
   {
       int i, min, max;
      
       //Initially assume that starting value is the minimum and maximum element
       min = max = values[0];
      
       //Iterating over array elements
       for(i=0; i<values.length; i++)
       {
           //Updating max element
           if(values[i] > max)
               max = values[i];
          
           //Updating min element
           if(values[i] < min)
               min = values[i];
       }
      
       //Printing max and min values
       System.out.println("\n\n Minimum Number: " + min + "\n\n Maximum Number: " + max + " \n\n");
   }
}
