MinAndMax.java

/** Challenge Activity 1 - Min and Max
 * 
 * One common programming activity is to find the minimum and maximum values 
 * within a list. In this challenge activity we will do just that. It will also
 * demonstrate how arrays and for loops compliment each other nicely.
 * 
 * First, execute the main() method as is so you can understand how the for loop 
 * works with the array.  If you must, set a breakpoint and step through the code.
 * 
 * Notice the min and max values are not correct. That's where you come in your 
 * job is to write these methods. Regardless of min or max, your approach should
 * be the same: (Here's the pseudocode for min)
 * 
 * set min to the value of the first element in the array
 * for each element in the array
 *  if the current element is less than min
 *      set min to the current element
 * end for
 * return min
