6. Write a program to input any 10 numbers then find out greatest and smallest number. [6]

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

    int a[50], i, big, small;

    int n=10;

    printf("\\n\\nEnter the %d elements of the array: \\n\\n", n);

    for(i = 0; i < n; i++)

        scanf("%d", &a[i]);

    big = a[0];     // initializing

    /* from 2nd element to the last element find the bigger element than big and update the value of big */

    for(i = 1; i < n; i++)

    {

        if(big < a[i])   // if larger value is encountered

        {

            big = a[i]; // update the value of big

        }

    }

    printf("\\n\\nThe largest element is: %d", big);

    small = a[0];   // initializing

    /* from 2nd element to the last element find the smaller element than small and update the value of small*/

    for(i = 1; i < n; i++)

    {

        if(small>a[i])   // if smaller value is encountered

        {

            small = a[i];   // update the value of small

        }

    }

    printf("\\n\\nThe smallest element is: %d", small);

    return 0;
