Program to find largest and smallest among 5 numbers without using array

Question

Yesterday I went for an interview where I have been asked to create a program to find largest and smallest among 5 numbers without using array.

I know how to create

Answer 1

Here's my implementation: Simple and short

#include 
#include 
using namespace std;


int max_of_five(int a, int b, int c, int d,int e){
    int large= max(max(a, b), max(c,d));
    return max(large,e);

}

int min_of_five(int a,int b,int c, int d,int e){
    int small=min(min(a,b),min(c,d));
    return min(small,e);
}


int main() {
    int a, b, c, d,e;

    scanf("%d %d %d %d %d", &a, &b, &c, &d,&e);
    int ans = max_of_five(a, b, c, d, e);
    int ans1=min_of_five(a,b,c,d,e);
    printf("Max:\t%d\n", ans);
    printf("Min:\t%d", ans1);

    return 0;
}
