Java Minimum and Maximum values in Array

Question

My code does not give errors, however it is not displaying the minimum and maximum values. The code is:

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int array[]          


        

Answer 1

You are doing two mistakes here.
1. calling getMaxValue(),getMinValue() methods before array initialization completes.
2.Not storing return value returned by the getMaxValue(),getMinValue() methods.
So try this code

   for (int i = 0 ; i < array.length; i++ ) 
  {
       int next = input.nextInt();
       // sentineil that will stop loop when 999 is entered
       if (next == 999)
       break;
       array[i] = next;
  }
  // get biggest number
  int maxValue = getMaxValue(array);
  System.out.println(maxValue );

  // get smallest number
  int minValue = getMinValue(array);
  System.out.println(minValue);
