Question

Write a program that asks the user to enter five different, integer numbers. The program then reports the largest number and the smallest number.

Answer 1

Answer:

// here is code in C++.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

// main function

int main()

{

// variables

  int mi=INT_MAX;

   int mx=INT_MIN;

   int Num;

   cout<<"enter five different Numbers:";

   // read 10 non-negative Numbers

   for(int a=1;a<=5;a++)

   {

       // read the input number

       cin>>Num;

     // find maximum

       if(Num>mx)

       {

           mx=Num;

       }

       // find minumum

       if(Num<mi)

       {

           mi=Num;

       }

   }

   // print maximum and minimum

   cout<<"maximum of five numbers is: "<<mx<<endl;

   cout<<"minimum of five numbers is: "<<mi<<endl;

return 0;

}

Explanation:

Declare two variables "mi" & "mx" and initialize them with INT_MAX and INT_MIN respectively.Then read the five number from user and compare it with "mi" & "mx" ,if input is greater than "mx" then update "mx" or if input is less than "mi" then update the "mi". After all the inputs, "mi" will have smallest and "mx" will have largest value.

Output:

enter five different Numbers:6 19 3 44 23

maximum of five numbers is: 44

minimum of five numbers is: 3
