#include <stdio.h> | |
int main(void) { | |
int data[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }; | |
int i = 0; | |
int max = data[0]; | |
int min = data[0]; | |
// Obtain the size of the array by obtaining the number of bytes of the array divided by the size of the first element | |
// e.g. 4 bytes for an int would mean the size of the array is 4 * 10 = 40, then divided by the size of an int i.e. 4 is 40 / 4 therefore 10 items | |
int size = sizeof(data) / sizeof(data[0]); | |
// I have been told it's best to declare i outside of the loop in old versions of C, though in new 'int i = 0' is fine | |
for (i = 1; i < size; i++) { | |
// Assume the new maximum | |
if (data[i] > max) { | |
max = data[i]; | |
} | |
// Assume the new minimum | |
if (data[i] < min) { | |
min = data[i]; | |
} | |
} | |
// Print to the console | |
printf("%i\n", max); | |
printf("%i\n", min); | |
return 0; | |
