Question

Write a program that will create an array of 10 floating point numbers and take input 10 floats from keyboard. The program will print the position (index) of the maximum and minimum number among them

Answer should be in C programming language

Answer 1

Source code:

#include<stdio.h> /*main function*/ int main() { /*declare float array of size 10*/ float array[10]; /*variables*/ int i,maxpos, minpos; float maximum, minimum; /*read 10 floating point numbers from user*/ printf("Enter 10 floating point numbers:\n"); for(i=0; i<10; i++) { /*read element*/ scanf("%f",&array[i]); if(i==0) { /*assign maximum and minimum*/ /*assign positions of maximum and minimum*/ maximum=array[i]; maxpos=i; minpos=i; minimum=array[i];

} else { /*check for maximum*/ if(array[i]>maximum) { /*assign maximum*/ /*assign position of maximum*/ maxpos=i; maximum=array[i]; } /*check for minimum*/ else if(array[i]<minimum { /*assign minimum*/ /*assign position of minimum*/ minpos=i; minimum=array[i]; } } }

/*print positions of maximum and minimum number*/ printf("The position of the maximum number is: %d", maxpos); printf("\nThe position of the minimum number is: %d", minpos); return 0; }

Output: (Index/position starts from 0 )
