http://code.sololearn.com/c1seF47iVi0S public class Program { public static int min(int[][] arr) { if ((arr.length == 0)||(arr[0].length == 0)) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Empty array"); } int min = arr[0][0]; for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < arr[i].length; j++) { if (arr[i][j] < min) { min = arr[i][j]; } } } return min; } public static int max(int[][] arr) { if ((arr.length == 0)||(arr[0].length == 0)) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Empty array"); } int max = arr[0][0]; for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < arr[i].length; j++) { if (arr[i][j] > max) { max = arr[i][j]; } } } return max; } public static void main(String[] args) { int[][] arr = new int[][]{ { 1, 4, 0, 6, -8, 8, 78 }, { 3, 0, 0, 12, -7, 9, 0 }, { 0, 64, 0, 0, -9, 4, 0 }, { 2, 1, 0, -1, 0, -4, 0 }, { 0, 0, 11, 8, 1, -2, 2 } }; System.out.println(min(arr)); System.out.println(max(arr)); } }

Like with a classic array, only you use a nested loop instead of a simple one.

int[][] ints = getInts(); /* some instantiation method */ int min = 2147483647; /* practically infinite for int types. */ for (int i = 0; i < ints.length; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < ints[i].length; j++) { if (ints[i][j] < min) min = ints[i][j]; } }

You could use Collections too http://code.sololearn.com/cSHVVygDbuYI/#java try below: import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Integer[][] arr = { {15, 12, 6}, {19, 7, 14, 11}, {2, 18, 5} }; Integer max; Integer min; Integer num; min = Collections.min(Arrays.asList(arr[0])); max = Collections.max(Arrays.asList(arr[0])); for (int i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) { num = Collections.min(Arrays.asList(arr[i])); if(num<min)min=num; num = Collections.max(Arrays.asList(arr[i])); if(num>max)max=num; } System.out.println("Max=" + max +" min=" + min); } }
