Answer 1

you can either sort the list first, or you can write a function to compare integers and call that effectively from your for loop, storing and returning the results.



(pseudocode)



bool greaterThan(int1, int2)

return int1>int2



for (i -> listsize)

min = list[0]

max = list[0]



if greaterThan(min, currentNumber)

min = currentNumber

if greaterThan(currentNumber, max)

max = currentNumber



return min, max



OR



int[] sort(int[] myArray)

\\do sorting magic here (fun stuff!)



max = myArray[length-1]

min = myArray[0]



return min, max
