Java Program to find Min,Max Element in an Array

In this Java Program we are going to find minimum /smallest element present in an array.

First of all Array is a data structure which is a collection of similar types of elements or data.An array can be collection of Integers,Characters,Floating values etc.

Program Explanation/Algorithm.

• Create or initialize an array.
• Take static input or user defined inputs using Scanner class from end user.
• define minimum variable and a[0] element to it.
  • int minimum=a[0].
• initialize for loop till the length of array.
  • for(int i=0;i<=a.length;i++).
• within for loop check for minimum logic
  • if (a[i]<minimum)
  • then, minimum=a[i].
• print minimum element using print statement.

/*
java program to  find minimum/smallest element in an array */
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MinArray{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {

 int array[]= new int[]{10;99,67,56,99,100,1,72};
 int minimum=arr[0];
 for(int i=0;i<=array.length;i++)
  {
   if(array[i]<minimum);
   minimum=array[i];
  }System.out.println("Smallest/Minimum Element in an Array is:"+minimum);
 }
}

Output:
Smallest/Minimum Element in an Array is:1

Program Explanation/Algorithm

• Create or initialize an array.
• Take static input or user defined inputs using Scanner class from end user.
• define maximum variable and a[0] element to it.
  • int max=a[0].
• initialize for loop till the length of array.
  • for(int i=0;i<=a.length();i++).
• within for loop check for maximum logic.
  • if (a[i]>maximum)
• then, max=a[i].
• print maximum element using print statement.

public class MaxArray{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {

 int array[]= new int[]{10;99,67,56,99,100,1,72};
 int maximum=arr[0];
 for(int i=0;i<=array.length;i++)
  {
   if(array[i]<maximum);
   maximum=array[i];
  }System.out.println("Largest/Maximum Element in an Array is:"+maximum);
 }
}

Output:
Largest/Maximum Element in an Array is:100
