Largest and smallest in array

kaseyahumada (6)
Hello,
I need help displaying the Largest and Smallest numbers in my array. I don't know how to code it correctly. I was able to set up the array and get a sum and average to work. The problem section is labeled Largest and Smallest.

please help me output the largest and smallest numbers in the array. thank you in advance for your help.

Here's one way. Declare ints max and low with the other declarations.

// **********************************************************

	max = low = number[0]; // Sets values 

	for(lcv = 0; lcv < ARRAY_SIZE; lcv++)
	{
		if(low > number[lcv])   // Check if low is higher, and if it is..
			low = number[lcv];    //  Set low to number[lcv]
		if(max < number[lcv])   //   Check if  max is lower, and if it is.. 
			max = number[lcv];   //  Set max to number[lcv]
	}
	cout << "Low = " << low << "\tMax = " << max << endl;
