Thread: Doubt about max, minimum and average value with if function

just think of a list/array as a bunch of "things". in this case, those "things" are numbers, more precisely they are integers. think of a loop as something that goes through a bunch of things (i.e. a list/array) and does something. in your case, you want to go through the list and compare the numbers in the list. using "for" loops you can easily go through a list, and have a variable that points to which thing in the list you're currently working on (i.e., an "index" in that list). heres an example of printing 10 numbers:

Code:

int[] myList = {5, 8, 10, 11, 4};
int i; // this is our "counter", which is used to keep track of where we are while looping through the above list of 5 things/numbers/integers
for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
{
   printf ("number %d is: %d\n" , i, list[i] );
}

the output would be:

Code:

number 0 is: 5
number 1 is: 8
number 2 is: 10
number 3 is: 11
number 4 is: 4

but anyways, im sure you must have some notes on looping to refer to.

the point is to come up with something on paper, disregarding the syntax of the "C" language, then translate that to C code. so try and work on the first part.

OK, I will try using this way, hope it works.

After some researching and after looking at a similar program code that I founded here. I finally changed the whole C code into arrays and loops. Making less complex and easy to understand!

Wow I learned a lot about arrays today!

Thanks everyone for your help!

I attached the .c file in case you wanted to see it.

Cheers!
