How to find the maximum and minimum values of an array in the C language?

One way to find the maximum and minimum values of an array is by using the following method:

1. Define two variables, max and min, and initialize them with the first element of the array.
2. Traverse the array, compare each element with max and min, and update the values of max and min.
3. After the traversal is completed, the values of max and min will be the maximum and minimum values of the array.

Here is a sample code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int array[] = {5, 2, 9, 1, 7, 6, 3, 8, 4};
    int size = sizeof(array) / sizeof(array[0]);
    int max = array[0];
    int min = array[0];

    for (int i = 1; i < size; i++) {
        if (array[i] > max) {
            max = array[i];
        }
        
        if (array[i] < min) {
            min = array[i];
        }
    }

    printf("最大值：%d\n", max);
    printf("最小值：%d\n", min);

    return 0;
}

Executing the above code will result in:

最大值：9
最小值：1
