Find the Maximum and Minimum in an Array in Java

The following program shows how to Find the Maximum and Minimum in an Array in Java.

At first, we declare and initialize a one-dimensional integer array. After that, we start a for loop that traverses all array elements one by one. Within the same loop, we determine both the maximum and minimum. Then we display these values.

public class Exercise2
{
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	    int[] myarray={3, 5, 1, 12, 9, 24, 6, 8};
	    int maximum=myarray[0], minimum=myarray[0];
	    System.out.println("Array Elements...");
	    for(int i=0;i<myarray.length;i++)
	    {
	        System.out.print(myarray[i]+"\t");
		if(maximum<myarray[i]) maximum=myarray[i];
		if(minimum>myarray[i]) minimum=myarray[i];
            }
	    System.out.println("\nMaximum = "+maximum+"\nMinimum = "+minimum);
	}
}

Output
