Question

Write 2 C functions.

One returns the maximum of 5 numbers. The other function, returns the minimum of 5 numbers.

In your main function, prompt the user to input 5 numbers and call the 2 functions above.

Answer 1

I have used variable names which are self-explanatory.

Happy Coding!!!!

#include <stdio.h>

int max_finder(int arr[5])
{
    int ans=-1000000007; //Almost like -infinity
    //Looping over arr to find Maximum
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
        //If arr[i] is greater than current ans the update ans
        if(arr[i]>ans)
        {
            ans=arr[i];
        }
    }
    return ans; //Return ans as its max in given array
}
int min_finder(int arr[5])
{
    int ans=1000000007;  //Almost like -infinity
    //Looping over arr to find Maximum
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
        //If arr[i] is smaller than current ans the update ans
        if(arr[i]<ans)
        {
            ans=arr[i];
        }
    }
    return ans; //Return ans as its min in given array
}
int main()
{
    int values[5];
    printf("Enter 5 number: ");
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
        //Taking Input from the user
        scanf("%d", &values[i]);
    }
    int max=max_finder(values); //Calling max_finder() to get Maximum
    int min=min_finder(values); //Calling min_finder() to get Minimum
    
    printf("Maximum of 5 numbers is %d",max);
    printf("\n");
    printf("Minimum of 5 numbers is %d",min);
    
    return 0;
}
