Question

write an algorithm to find out smallest and largest among 3 elements? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is how I will solve the problem:

Create an array of 3 integers (or more if you are willing to)

Create a variable named max (int) and set it to the first value of the array (through int max = arr[0]).

Run a loop till the size of the array

Check if the value of arr[i] is bigger then the previous one

if yes then change the value to arr[i]

if not then start going ahead.

So this will return the biggest integer/float in an array.

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

The algorithm for the given problem is,

1. INPUT a, b, c
2. SET minimum = a, maximum = a
3. IF b < minimum THEN
4.     minimum = b  
5. IF c < minimum THEN
6.     minimum = c
7. IF b > maximum THEN
8.     maximum= b
9. IF c > maximum THEN
10.     maximum = c
11. PRINT minimum, maximum

• The above algorithm is taking input in a, b, and c variables.
• Then the assumed minimum and maximum are stored in respective variables.
• After that, if's condition is checking for the minimum and maximum.
• Finally, the evaluated value of minimum and maximum is printed.
