Maximum and minimum of an array using minimum number of comparisons

Write a C function to return minimum and maximum in an array. Your program should make the minimum number of comparisons.

Python Program to find the Largest and Smallest Number in a List using min() and max() method.
Python Program to find the Minimum and Maximum Number in a List with their position using for loop and if statement.
Python Program to find the Largest and Smallest Number in a List using sort() method.
Python Program to find the position of min and max elements of a list using min() and max() function.

1: Python Program to find the Largest and Smallest Number in a List using min() and max() method

Allow user to enter the length of the list.
Next, iterate the for loop and add the number in the list.
Use theminandmaxfunctions to find the smallest and largest numbers from the list.
Print the results.

# Python Program to find Largest and Smallest Number in a List NumList = [] Number = int(input("Please enter element length in list ")) for i in range(1, Number + 1): value = int(input("Please enter the Value of %d Element : " %i)) NumList.append(value) print("The Smallest Element in this List is : ", min(NumList)) print("The Largest Element in this List is : ", max(NumList))

After executing the program, the output will be:

How many element in list, Please enter num :- 5 Please enter the Value of 1 Element : 500 Please enter the Value of 2 Element : 653 Please enter the Value of 3 Element : 895 Please enter the Value of 4 Element : 565 Please enter the Value of 5 Element : 568 The Smallest Element in this List is : 500 The Largest Element in this List is : 895

Recommended:-Python Program to Find Smallest/Minimum of n Numbers

2: Python Program to find the Minimum and Maximum Number in a List with their position using for loop and if statement

Allow user to enter the length of the list.
Next, iterate the for loop and add the number in the list.
Iterate for loop with list and use if statement to find the min and max number and their position in the list.
Print the results.

# Python Program to find Largest and Smallest Number in a List # Python Program to find Largest and Smallest Number in a List NumList = [] Number = int(input("How many element in list, Please enter num :- ")) for i in range(1, Number + 1): value = int(input("Please enter the Value of %d Element : " %i)) NumList.append(value) smallest = largest = NumList[0] for j in range(1, Number): if(smallest > NumList[j]): smallest = NumList[j] min_position = j if(largest < NumList[j]): largest = NumList[j] max_position = j print("The Smallest Element in this List is : ", smallest) print("The Index position of Smallest Element in this List is : ", min_position) print("The Largest Element in this List is : ", largest) print("The Index position of Largest Element in this List is : ", max_position)

After executing the program, the output will be:

How many element in list, Please enter num :- 5 Please enter the Value of 1 Element : 70 Please enter the Value of 2 Element : 90 Please enter the Value of 3 Element : 60 Please enter the Value of 4 Element : 80 Please enter the Value of 5 Element : 45 The Smallest Element in this List is : 45 The Index position of Smallest Element in this List is : 4 The Largest Element in this List is : 90 The Index position of Largest Element in this List is : 1

3: Python Program to find the Largest and Smallest Number in a List using sort() method

Allow user to enter the length of the list.
Next, iterate the for loop and add the number in the list.
Use python sort method to find the smallest and largest number from the list.
Print the results.

# Python Program to find Largest and Smallest Number in a List NumList = [] Number = int(input("How many element in list, please enter num :- ")) for i in range(1, Number + 1): value = int(input("Please enter the Value of %d Element : " %i)) NumList.append(value) NumList.sort() print("The Smallest Element in this List is : ", NumList[0]) print("The Largest Element in this List is : ", NumList[Number - 1])

After executing the program, the output will be:

How many element in list, please enter num :- 5 Please enter the Value of 1 Element : 98 Please enter the Value of 2 Element : 45 Please enter the Value of 3 Element : 63 Please enter the Value of 4 Element : 78 Please enter the Value of 5 Element : 25 The Smallest Element in this List is : 25 The Largest Element in this List is : 98

4: Python Program to find the position of min and max elements of a list using min() and max() function

Allow user to enter the length of the list.
Next, iterate the for loop and add the number in the list.
Use min and max function with index function to find the position of an element in the list.
Print the results.

# Python Program to find Largest and Smallest Number in a List NumList = [] Number = int(input("How many element in list, Please enter num :- ")) for i in range(1, Number + 1): value = int(input("Please enter the Value of %d Element : " %i)) NumList.append(value) # min element's position/index min = NumList.index(min(NumList)) # max element's position/index max = NumList.index(max(NumList)) # printing the position/index of min and max elements print("position of minimum element: ", min) print("position of maximum element: ", max)

After executing the program, the output will be:

How many element in list, Please enter num :- 5 Please enter the Value of 1 Element : 5 Please enter the Value of 2 Element : 8 Please enter the Value of 3 Element : 9 Please enter the Value of 4 Element : 4 Please enter the Value of 5 Element : 2 position of minimum element: 4 position of maximum element: 2

C Program To Find Maximum & Minimum Element In Array | C Prorams

in C Programs Comments Off on C Program To Find Maximum & Minimum Element In Array | C Prorams

C program to find the maximum and minimum element in an array – In this article, we will brief in on the many ways to find the maximum and minimum element in an array in C programming.

Suitable examples and sample programs have also been added so that you can understand the whole thing very clearly. The compiler has also been added with which you can execute it yourself.

The ways used in this piece are as follows:

Using Standard Method
Using Function
Using Recursion

As we all know, arrays are a collection of a bunch of elements in a sequential pattern in a horizontal direction. Arrays form a very important of C programming.

As given in the example above, firstly, enter the size of the array that you want to define.

The size of the array in the example mentioned is 5.

After that, you need to enter the elements of the array.

The elements entered in the array are as follows:

1 2 35 0 -1

So, the minimum of the array is -1 and the maximum of the array is 35.

Thus, doing the same using multiple methods in C programming is as follows:

C++

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

// Naive solution to find the minimum and maximum number in an array

void findMinAndMax(vector<int> const &nums, int &min, int &max)

{

// initialize minimum and maximum element with the first element

max = nums[0], min = nums[0];

// do for each array element

for (int i = 1; i < nums.size(); i++)

{

// if the current element is greater than the maximum found so far

if (nums[i] > max) {

max = nums[i];

}

// if the current element is smaller than the minimum found so far

else if (nums[i] < min) {

min = nums[i];

}

int main()

{

vector<int> nums = { 5, 7, 2, 4, 9, 6 };

// to store minimum and maximum element, respectively

int min, max;

findMinAndMax(nums, min, max);

cout << "The minimum array element is " << min << endl;

cout << "The maximum array element is " << max << endl;

return 0;

}
