Thread: largest and smallest number

This can also be done without an array.

Code:

/* ... */
   int value; /* instead of an array */
   /* ... */
   for ( i = 0; i < MAX_INTS; i++ )
   {
      /* prompt and user input into value */
      if ( value < min )
      {
         min = value;
      }
      if ( value > max )
      {
         max = value;
      }
   }
   printf("min = %d, max = %d\n", min, max);
/* ... */

Thank you guys for your support, I have found that the program i have is not efficient and it has some bugs, because when i enter numbers equal numbers example: num1= 44, num2 =44, num3= 44, num4= 44. It wont print nothing.
The best way to do it with out doing an array is how Dave_Sinkula posted. I have modified the code, but i have a problem it dosent print the minimun number. It just prints a crazy number but the maximum number works fine.

can some one point out where is the error?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   
	int i,MAX_INTS=4,value,min,max; /* instead of an array */
 
	for ( i = 0; i < MAX_INTS; i++ )
   {
	   printf("\nEnter a number: ");   /* prompt and user input into value */
	   scanf("%d",&value);
	   
      if ( value < min )
      {
         min = value;
      }
      if ( value > max )
      {
         max = value;
      }
   }
   printf("min = %d, max = %d\n", min, max);
   return 0;
 }

Thank you guys
