C Program to find maximum and minimum of an Array

What is an array?

Array is a collection of similar data types stored at contiguous memory location. It is a linear data structure. Data stored in array at a position is called index of the element. Index helps to identify the location of the element.

Code

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i,a[5];
    for(i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
       scanf("%d",&a[i]);
   }
    int max=a[0],min=a[0],n=3; 
    for(i=0;i<n;i++) 
    {
        if(a[i]>max) 
        {
            max=a[i];
        }
        if(a[i]<min)
        {
            min=a[i];        
        }
    }
    printf("%d\n%d",max,min);
    return 0;
    }

Output
