Find the Minimum and Maximum Element in an Array
Go through the array and keep track of the highest and lowest values:
Example
int[] numbers = {45, 12, 98, 33, 27};
int max = numbers[0];
int min = numbers[0];
for (int n : numbers) {
if (n > max) {
max = n;
}
if (n < min) {
min = n;
}
}
System.out.println("Max: " + max);
System.out.println("Min: " + min);Explanation: Start by assuming the first element is both the maximum and minimum. As you loop through the array, update max if you find a larger number and min if you find a smaller number.
