Finding Maximum and Minimum Value in an Array

Description

The MaxMin program is a simple Java application that prompts the user to enter a number of elements and then the elements themselves. It calculates and displays the maximum and minimum values from the provided array of integers.

Features

• Accepts user input for the number of elements in the array.
• Allows the user to input the elements of the array.
• Computes the maximum and minimum values from the array.
• Displays the results clearly.

How to Run the Program

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your machine.

Steps

1. Clone the Repository (if applicable):

   git clone https://github.com/Samridhi060/MinMax.git
   cd MaxMin

2. Compile the Program: Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing the MaxMin.java file. Then run:

   javac MaxMin.java

3. Run the Program: Execute the compiled Java program using:

   java MaxMin

4. Input:

   • When prompted, enter the number of elements in the array.
   • Then, input each element of the array one by one.

5. Output: The program will display the maximum and minimum numbers from the array.

Example

Input:

Enter the number of elements in the array: 
5
Enter the elements of the array: 
12
5
8
20
3

Output:

Maximum number is: 20
Minimum number is: 3

Code Explanation

• The program begins by importing the Scanner class for user input.
• It defines the MaxMin class, which contains the main method and the maxmin method.
• The main method handles user input and calls the maxmin method.
• The maxmin method iterates through the array to find the maximum and minimum values and prints them.

Conclusion

This program is a straightforward implementation to find the maximum and minimum values in an array of integers, demonstrating basic Java programming concepts such as arrays, loops, and user input.
