Solution 1

You can compare as many as you want. You need to reword this, with code, so it makes sense. Typically, you create a variable for the biggest and one for the smallest, and every one, you replace the current value if the new one is a better match.

I told you how and someone else ( foolishly in my view ) wrote the code for you. If you could not write that code, you need to talk to your teacher, you're struggling.

Solution 4

C#

#include<iostream>
#include<climits>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
 int max=INT_MIN,min=INT_MAX;
 int num;
 int counter =0;
 cout<<"Enter 10 numbers"<<endl;
 while(counter<10)
 {

     cin>>num;
     if ( max < num) max = num;
     if ( min > num) min = num;
     counter++;
 }
 cout << "min " << min << ", max " << max << endl;
 return 0;
 }

Thank you very much.
can you tell me other way without using climits??

CPallini 18-Dec-12 8:15am

Of course there are many ways. But why? Why don't you want climits header?

If counter is 0, you can initialize both min and max with num.
