find the biggest and smallest number in the given slice or array using go lang

biggestandsmallest.go

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
  var n, smallest, biggest int
  x := []int{
    48,96,86,68,
    57,82,63,70,
    37,34,83,27,
    19,97, 9,17,
  }

  for _,v:=range x {
    if v>n {
      fmt.Println(v,">",n)
      n = v
      biggest = n
    } else {
      fmt.Println(v,"<",n)
    }
  }

  fmt.Println("The biggest number is ", biggest)
  for _,v:=range x {
    if v>n {
      fmt.Println(v,">",n)
    } else {
      fmt.Println(v,"<",n)
      n = v
      smallest = n
    }
  }
  fmt.Println("The smallest number is ", smallest)
}

output

48 > 0
96 > 48
86 < 96
68 < 96
57 < 96
82 < 96
63 < 96
70 < 96
37 < 96
34 < 96
83 < 96
27 < 96
19 < 96
97 > 96
9 < 97
17 < 97
The biggest number is  97
48 < 97
96 > 48
86 > 48
68 > 48
57 > 48
82 > 48
63 > 48
70 > 48
37 < 48
34 < 37
83 > 34
27 < 34
19 < 27
97 > 19
9 < 19
17 > 9
The smallest number is  9

A solution from me

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    x := []int{
        48, 96, 86, 68,
        57, 82, 63, 70,
        37, 34, 83, 27,
        19, 97, 9, 17,
    }

    slice := []bool{}

    var smallest int

    for i := 0; i < len(x); {

        for _, value := range x {

            if x[i] == value {

                continue
            }

            switch true {

            case x[i] < value:
                slice = append(slice, true)
            default:
                continue

            }

        }

        if len(slice) == (len(x) - 1) {

            smallest = x[i]
            break
        }

        slice = []bool{}

        i++

    }

    fmt.Println("The smallest number is ", smallest) // output:  The smallest number is  9

}

package main

import "fmt"
import "sort"


func main() {

    x := []int{
    48,96,86,68,
    57,82,63,70,
    37,34,83,27,
    19,97, 9,17,
    }

    
    sort.Ints(x)
    lowest := x[0]
    fmt.Println(lowest)                                                                                                                
}

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	x := []int{
		48, 96, 86, 68,
		57, 82, 63, 70,
		37, 34, 83, 27,
		19, 97, 9, 17,
	}
	max := x[0]
	min := x[0]
	for _, v := range x {
		if max < v {
			max = v
		}
		if min > v {
			min = v
		}
	}
	fmt.Println(min, max)
}

`package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
x := []int{
48, 96, 86, 68,
57, 82, 63, 70,
37, 34, 83, 27,
19, 97, 9, 17,
}
y := x[0]

for _, v := range x {
	if v < y {
		y = v
	}
}
fmt.Println("The smallest value is : ", y)

}`

Pass in the Slice and it will return the biggest number in the slice.

func Biggest(seq []int) int {
	var cache int

	for i := 0; i < len(seq)-1; i++ {
		if seq[i] > seq[i+1] {
			if seq[i] > cache {
				cache = seq[i]
			}
		}

	}
	return cache
}
