CSCI 261 - Programming Concepts (C++)

This lab picks up right where Lab4A left off. We are going to find the largest value in an array. After you have printed out the values within the array, pass the array to a function to find the max value.

The function should accept as input an array of any size and the size of the array as a separate parameter. The function should return as an int the largest value in the array. Inside the function, iterate through the array searching for the largest value in the array. Then print this value. (There are hints below if you need a starting point.)

Then repeat the same process to create a function that finds the minimum value in the array.

An example interaction follows:

If you are unsure how to get started, here are the suggested steps for your function:

• Step 1: declare a variable for the largest number, and initialize it to be the 1st value in the array.
• Step 2: using a for loop, read each array value and update the largest number variable (if appropriate). Think carefully about which two values you need to compare.
• Step 3: return the largest number.

• Your function cannot make a call to the STL Algorithm method sort() . You must iterate through the array searching for the smallest/largest element yourself.
• You must iterate through the array again after printing all the values. You should not keep track of the smallest/largest value as the user is entering them.

You will submit your solution to this lab with the rest of A4. Detailed instructions for doing this are posted in Assignment 4.
