Thread: Mean, Min, Max of N numbers without using array

I am not sure how to determine a min and a max with my program. it finds the average but is there a way i can also get it to print a min and max. here what i have so far

Code:

int value;
int n;
int count;
int input_status;
float sum = 0, x, avg;

printf("\nEnter How Many Numbers : ");
scanf("%d", &n);

        for(count = 1; count <= n; count++)
        {
                printf("x = ");
                scanf("%f", &x);
                sum += x;
        }

        avg = sum / n;

printf("\nThe Average of Numbers is : %0.2f", avg);

..or set both to the first element the user inputs.

Code:

if (count == 1)
{
   min = x;
   max = x;
}
else if (x < min)
  min = x;
else if (x > max)
  max = x;

et voila...

Oh and btw, it's just a little detail. But it'd be better if you start your counter at 0 and let it loop while counter < n, everything in IT starts with 0...
