If you have a list of numbers what would be the best function to find the maximun and min of the numbers I need to make up my own function instead of win32 API

Here''s a macro. Probably not what you are looking for but maybe
it will get you going int he right direction.

#define MAX(a, b) (((a) > (b)) ? (b) : (a))


It only finds the max of two numbers though.

Well, what I'd do is have a variable that contains the highest number so far then compare each number to that number, and if the number being compared is larger than make that the largest number.

Here's some pseudocode.

            int max;while(not done checking numbers){if (current_number>max) max=current_number; //move to the next number to compare}return max;            

so if the number being compared is larger then it is considered the max number so far. That way at the end you'd have the largest number of the group.
