making a array

[bowleruu16]

create an array of random numbers (7-14)
(not sorted)

use a for loop and find both the largest and smallest elements (integers).

hint:initialize the maxnum and minnum with the value of the first element in the array.

if ( maxnum < elelmentofarray)
{
// then update maxnum
}

i know how to make a array just need help with the rest

C++ already has algorithms to do this (you could use them to impress your professor).
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/min_element/
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/max_element/

Anyway, what you need to do is store the maximum element in maxnum, and minimum element in minnum.

int maxnum = array[0];

for (int i=0; i < size_of_array; ++i)
    if (maxnum < array[i])
        maxnum = array[i];

#include<iostream>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;


int main()
{
	int random[5];
	int biggest = 0;
	int smallest = 100;

for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
random[i] = (rand()%7)+7;
if(random[i]>biggest)
	biggest=random[i];
if(random[i]<smallest)
	smallest=random[i];
}

for(int x=0;x<5;x++){
	cout<<"Index "<<x<<" - - "<<random[x]<<endl;
}

cout<<"The biggest value of the array is "<<biggest<<endl;
cout<<"The smallest value of the array is "<<smallest<<endl;

	return 0;
}

You can change the array to however many rand numbers you want, given you also change the for loops. This is the basics of this.
