C Program to Find Largest and Smallest Number in an Array

C program to find largest and smallest number in an array; Through this tutorial, we will learn how to find largest and smallest number from an array using standard method and function in c programs.

Programs to Find Largest and Smallest Number in an Array

Use the following programs to find largest and smallest number from an array using standard method and function in c:

• C Program to Find Largest Number in an Array using Standard Method
• C Program to Find Largest Number in an Array using Function

C Program to Find Largest and Smallest Number in an Array using Standard Method

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    int a[1000],i,n,min,max;
   
    printf("Enter size of the array : ");
    scanf("%d",&n);
 
    printf("Enter elements in array : ");
    for(i=0; i<n; i++)
    {
        scanf("%d",&a[i]);
    }
 
    min=max=a[0];
    for(i=1; i<n; i++)
    {
         if(min>a[i])
		  min=a[i];   
		   if(max<a[i])
		    max=a[i];       
    }
     printf("minimum of array is : %d",min);
          printf("\nmaximum of array is : %d",max);
 
 
    return 0;
}

The output of the above c program; as follows:

Enter size of the array : 5
Enter elements in array : 1 2 3 5 4
minimum of array is : 1
maximum of array is : 5

C Program to Find Largest and Smallest Number in an Array using Function

#include <stdio.h>
 
 int sumofarray(int a[],int n)
 {
 	int min,max,i;
 	min=max=a[0];
    for(i=1; i<n; i++)
    {
         if(min>a[i])
		  min=a[i];   
		   if(max<a[i])
		    max=a[i];       
    }
    
    printf("minimum of array is : %d",min);
    printf("\nmaximum of array is : %d",max);
 }
int main()
{
    int a[1000],i,n,sum;
   
    printf("Enter size of the array : ");
    scanf("%d", &n);
 
    printf("Enter elements in array : ");
    for(i=0; i<n; i++)
    {
        scanf("%d",&a[i]);
    }
    sumofarray(a,n);
 
 
    
}

The output of the above c program; as follows:

Enter size of the array : 5
Enter elements in array : 8 9 10 2 5
minimum of array is : 2
maximum of array is : 10
