Set the first element to max(min), and then search trough all the elements, asking if the next one is higher(lower) than max(min) value. It's very easy, try it

@dariusPianotised Consider this piece of code memory efficient for(int i=0;i<ARRAYSIZE(a);i++) { cout<< "\nEnter value: "; cin>> a[i]; // puts values in array if(i==0) { minValue=a[0]; maxValue=a[0]; } else if(minValue>a[i]) minValue=a[i]; else if(maxValue<a[i]) maxValue = a[i]; }

#include <iostream> #include<Windows.h> //Include Windows to use ARRAYSIZE using namespace std; int main () { int minValue,maxValue; const int size = 10; // modifying this value will allow for less/more numbers to be entered by the user int a[size]; cout<<"Enter your values:"; for(int i=0;i<ARRAYSIZE(a);i++) { cout<< "\nEnter value: "; cin>> a[i]; // puts values in array } minValue=a[0]; maxValue=a[0]; for(int i=1;i<ARRAYSIZE(a);i++) { if(minValue>a[i]) { minValue=a[i]; } else if(maxValue<a[i]){ maxValue = a[i]; } } cout<<"Maximum number is: "<< maxValue << endl; cout<<"Minimum number is: "<< minValue << endl; return 0; }
