Chapter 6, Problem 6RE

Explanation of Solution

Compute maximum and minimum of an array:

Consider the below java code for a loop that simultaneously computes both the maximum and minimum of an array:

//imagine the first element as minimum number

int min = my_values[0];

//imagine the first element as maximum number

int max = my_values[0];

//loop to compute both maximum and minimum values

for (int i = 1; i < my_values.length; i++)

{

  //checks whether my_values[i] is greater than max or not

       if (my_values[i] > max)

       {

         //store the maximum value into max

           max = my_values[i];

  }

     //checks whether my_values is less than min or not

       if (my_values[i] < min)

       {

//store the minimum value into a min

           min = my_values[i];

  }

}

//print the maximum number in the given array

System.out.println("maximum Number in a given array is : " +   max);

//print the minimum number in the given array
