C program to find minimum element in array

C code to find minimum or smallest element present in an array. It also prints the location or index at which minimum element occurs in array. This can also be done by using pointers (see both the codes).

C programming code

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main() 
{
    int array[100], minimum, size, c, location = 1;
 
    printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
    scanf("%d",&size);
 
    printf("Enter %d integers\n", size);
 
    for ( c = 0 ; c < size ; c++ )
        scanf("%d", &array[c]);
 
    minimum = array[0];
 
    for ( c = 1 ; c < size ; c++ ) 
    {
        if ( array[c] < minimum ) 
        {
           minimum = array[c];
           location = c+1;
        }
    } 
 
    printf("Minimum element is present at location %d and it's value is %d.\n", location, minimum);
    return 0;
}

C programming code using pointers

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main() 
{
    int array[100], *minimum, size, c, location = 1;
 
    printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
    scanf("%d",&size);
 
    printf("Enter %d integers\n", size);
 
    for ( c = 0 ; c < size ; c++ )
        scanf("%d", &array[c]);
 
    minimum = array;
    *minimum = *array;
 
    for ( c = 1 ; c < size ; c++ ) 
    {
        if ( *(array+c) < *minimum ) 
        {
           *minimum = *(array+c);
           location = c+1;
        }
    } 
 
    printf("Minimum element found at location %d and it's value is %d.\n", location, *minimum);
    return 0;
}

Our algorithm first assumes first element as minimum and then compare it with other elements if an element is smaller than it then it becomes the new minimum and this process is repeated till complete array is scanned.

C program to find maximum element in array

This code find maximum or largest element present in an array. It also prints the location or index at which maximum element occurs in array. This can also be done by using pointers (see both codes).

C programming code

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
  int array[100], maximum, size, c, location = 1;
 
  printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
  scanf("%d", &size);
 
  printf("Enter %d integers\n", size);
 
  for (c = 0; c < size; c++)
    scanf("%d", &array[c]);
 
  maximum = array[0];
 
  for (c = 1; c < size; c++)
  {
    if (array[c] > maximum)
    {
       maximum  = array[c];
       location = c+1;
    }
  }
 
  printf("Maximum element is present at location %d and it's value is %d.\n", location, maximum);
  return 0;
}

C programming code using pointers

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
  long array[100], *maximum, size, c, location = 1;
 
  printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
  scanf("%ld", &size);
 
  printf("Enter %ld integers\n", size);
 
  for ( c = 0 ; c < size ; c++ )
    scanf("%ld", &array[c]);
 
  maximum  = array;
  *maximum = *array;
 
  for (c = 1; c < size; c++)
  {
    if (*(array+c) > *maximum)
    {
       *maximum = *(array+c);
       location = c+1;
    }
  }
 
  printf("Maximum element found at location %ld and it's value is %ld.\n", location, *maximum);
  return 0;
}

The complexity of above code is O(n) as the time used depends on the size of input array or in other words time to find maximum increases linearly as array size grows.

Fibonacci series in c

Fibonacci series in c programming: c program for Fibonacci series without and with recursion. Using the code below you can print as many numbers of terms of series as desired. Numbers of Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers. First few numbers of series are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 etc, Except first two terms in sequence every other term is the sum of two previous terms, For example 8 = 3 + 5 (addition of 3, 5). This sequence has many applications in mathematics and Computer Science.

main()
{
   int n, i = 0, c;
 
   scanf("%d",&n);
 
   printf("Fibonacci series\n");
 
   for ( c = 1 ; c <= n ; c++ )
   {
      printf("%d\n", Fibonacci(i));
      i++; 
   }
 
   return 0;
}
 
int Fibonacci(int n)
{
   if ( n == 0 )
      return 0;
   else if ( n == 1 )
      return 1;
   else
      return ( Fibonacci(n-1) + Fibonacci(n-2) );
} 

Recursion method is less efficient as it involves function calls which uses stack, also there are chances of stack overflow if function is called frequently for calculating larger Fibonacci numbers.

C program to generate and print armstrong numbers

Armstrong number in c: This program prints armstrong number. In our program we ask the user to enter a number and then we use a loop from one to the entered number and check if it is an armstrong number and if it is then the number is printed on the screen. Remember a number is armstrong if the sum of cubes of individual digits of a number is equal to the number itself. For example 371 is an armstrong number as 3³ + 7³ + 1³ = 371. Some other armstrong numbers are 0, 1, 153, 370, 407.

C programming code

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
   int r;
   long number = 0, c, sum = 0, temp;
 
   printf("Enter an integer upto which you want to find armstrong numbers\n");
   scanf("%ld",&number);
 
   printf("Following armstrong numbers are found from 1 to %ld\n",number);
 
   for( c = 1 ; c <= number ; c++ )
   {
      temp = c;
      while( temp != 0 )
      {
         r = temp%10;
         sum = sum + r*r*r;
         temp = temp/10;
      }
      if ( c == sum )
         printf("%ld\n", c);
      sum = 0;
   }
 
   return 0;
}
