What is the code for a C program to find the largest and smallest number?

Answer 1

Fist of all, let's assume that by "list" you mean "array." Otherwise we would need your list implementation in order to be able to iterate through the elements.

int[] nums; // assume these are the numbers you want to search through

int nums_length; // also assume that we know how many numbers are in nums

int min; // smallest number in nums

int max; // largest number in nums

// special case for an empty list of numbers: set min = max = 0

if(nums_length == 0) {

min = 0;

max = 0;

}else {

// start min and max off as equal to the first number

min = nums[0];

max = nums[0];

// iterate through nums

int i;

for(i = 1; i < nums_length; ++i) {

// update max, if necessary

if( nums[i] > max ) {

max = nums[i];

}

// update min, if necessary

if(nums[i] < min) {

min = nums[i];

}

}

}

// min and max are now properly set (or both equal to 0 if nums is empty)

Answer 2

//The following program will find the largest and smallest number of a group 10

#include

using namespace std;

const int SIZE=10;

int main()

{

int num[SIZE], i ;

for(i=0;i

cout <<"Enter a number: ";

cin >>num[i];

}

//The following will sort all the number in the array from greatest to least

for(i=0;i

for( k=i+1;k

if(num[ i ]

temp= num[ i ];

num[ i ]=num[ k ];

num[ k ]= temp;

}

cout <<" The largest number is "<< num[ 0 ] <

cout <<" The smallest number is "<< num[SIZE-1];

return 0;

}

If you want to find out the same thing for a larger or smaller group of number just change the const int SIZE= ; to equal how many numbers you want to find it from
