The logic is simple: We made two variables and set their values to 0(in my case to the first member of the array). Then used a for loop to loop through the array. (I commented most of this in code btw) if there is a number greater or less than the value stored in our variables then that value is saved as the new value of the variable. What's the other help you need?

You might like: https://www.sololearn.com/learn/774/?ref=app If you just want to find lowest and highest.. let arr = [ 14, 17, 11,8, 3,2,88]; let biggest = arr[0]; let smallest = arr[0]; for(i = 0; i < arr.length ; i++){ if(arr[i] >= biggest){ biggest = arr[i]; } if(arr[i] <= smallest){ smallest = arr[i]; } }

Think about it(second problem) yourself. Take your time. Understand the logic first then try to code.

To add to Jays idea: Check the index of the largest and smallest number and set them to NULL I guess. I don't know of any function.

int high=0,low=arr[0]; for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++) { if (arr[i]<low) low=arr[i]; else high=arr[i]; } System.out.println("highest and lowest number are:"+ high +" and " + low);
