Maximum and Minimum from an array, How to find ?

How to find maximum and minimum from an array?

Problem Statement:

Consider a one-dimension integer array of 10 elements filled by a user at runtime and then find the maximum and minimum of these elements and display it.

import java.util.Scanner ;

public class MaxArray
 {
   public static void main(String[] args)
    {
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in) ;
      int[] nums = new in[10];      
      // populate the array
      for(int i=0 ; i < nums.length ; i++)
        {  
          System.out.println("Enter array element at index: " + i) ;
          nums[i] = sc.nextInt() ;
        }

     // find the maximum of the array elements
     int max = nums[0] ; // put the first element in max variable
     for(int i=1 ; i < nums.length ; i++) { if(nums[i] > max) 
         max = nums[i] ;
     }
     // now print the maximum element
    System.out.println("largest element: " + max) ;
    }
 }

Similarly you can find the smallest element by using the logic

// find the minimumof the array elements
     int min = nums[0] ; // put the first element in min variable
     for(int i=1 ; i < nums.length ; i++)
     {
       if(nums[i] < min) 
         min= nums[i] ;
     }
     // now print the minimum element
    System.out.println("Smallest element: " + min) ;
