Calculate the maximum value and the minimum value among the items in an array with c plus plus

In some cases one needs to calculate the maximum and minimum of a range of integers, this simple example written in C++, shows how to do it.

#include <iostream>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{ 
    // Initialize random number generator
    srand(time(NULL));
    
    // Define the length of the array
    const int LENGHT = 10;
    
    // Create an array of LENGTH elements
    int v[LENGHT];
    
    // Fill the array with random integers
    for (int i=0; i<LENGHT; i++) v[i] = (rand()%100)+1;
    
    // Showing the contents of the array
    printf("The contents of the array\n");
    for (int i=0; i<LENGHT; i++) printf("%d " , v[i]);
    
    // Calculating the max value contained in the array
    int max = v[0];
    
    for (int i=1; i<LENGHT; i++) 
        if(v[i]>max) max = v[i];
    
    // Calculating the min value contained in the array
    int min = max;
    
    for (int i=1; i<LENGHT; i++) 
        if(v[i]<min) min = v[i];
    
    printf("\n\n");
    
    printf("The max value is: %d\n" , max);
    printf("The min value is: %d\n" , min);
    
return 0;
}

This is the result:

The contents of the array
31 41 49 12 30 47 24 33 52 4

The max value is: 52
The min value is: 4
