Find maximum and minimum in an array code example
Example 1: find maximum number in array
int main() {
int i, n;
float arr[100];
printf("Enter the number of elements (1 to 100): ");
scanf("%d", &n);
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
printf("Enter number%d: ", i + 1);
scanf("%f", &arr[i]);
}
// storing the largest number to arr[0]
for (i = 1; i < n; ++i) {
if (arr[0] < arr[i])
arr[0] = arr[i];
}
printf("Largest element = %.2f", arr[0]);
return 0;
}
Example 2: find maximum and second maximum number in array
int main()
{
std::cout << "Enter 5 numbers : ";
int arr[5];
for (int i = 0; i < 5; std::cin >> arr[i++]);
int max = arr[0], second = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++)
if (arr[i] > max)
max = arr[i];
std::cout << "Maximum number : " << max << "\n";
bool found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
if (arr[i] == max)
continue;
else if (arr[i] > second)
{
second = arr[i];
found = true;
}
}
if (found)
std::cout << "Second maximum numbers : " << second;
else
std::cout << "Second maximum number not found.";
}
