CA 06 - Find the Maximum and Minimum Element in the Array


Problem Statement
Given an array, find:

The minimum element
The maximum element

Example:
Input: [1, 4, 3, 8, 6]
Output: [1, 8]

Approach
You only need one loop.

Idea:
Assume first element is both min and max
Traverse the array
Update values when needed

Step-by-Step Example
Input:
[1, 4, 3, 8, 6]
Process:
Start → min = 1, max = 1
4 → max = 4
3 → no change
8 → max = 8
6 → no change
Final:
[1, 8]
