Find the Maximum and Minimum values in an Array (Java)

A simple algorithm to help you find the maximum and minimum values inside of an array.

2022, still using the tutorial. Super helpful.

Thanks really needed this for an assignment

[Desiqnify]

Surely you'd just want to declare "int i = 1"in your for loop, since you've already initialised variable largest with values[0]

I already know how to sort the values of the array, how do i compare String values to the same object sorted????

String names[]
double scores[]

please assist

The code doesn't work for an array containing {5.6, 3.4, 1.2, 7.8} gives me 5.6 as the max

[bergamobobson]

thansk but i think you should have started you loop for at 1 not 0 for more efficiency as you already assign the min to values[0]

[strongminds]

How would you do it in for each loop ?

[motoduster]

Did you come up with this code yourself?
Im working on a project and a part required for me to do the same I was pretty close haha

[tataijames]

does this also work for an ArrayList ?

[Chandler]

why is it wrong to put value[i]=largest?? why must it be largest=value[i]

[soubhadra]

Please tell what is wrong in this
The smallest is coming 0
import java.io.*;
public class Array_1
{
public static void main(String args[])throws IOException
{
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new
int a[]=new int [20];
int max=a[0];
int min=a[0];
for (int i=0;i<20;i++)
{
System.out.println("Enter a number");

if (a[i]>max)
max=a[i];
if (a[i]<min)
min=a[i];
}
System.out.println("The highest no. is : "+max);
System.out.println("The lowest no. is : "+ min);
}
}
