Calculation of maximum and minimum values ​​in an array

Question

I have an array of integers and need to find the position in the array of the maximum number along with the minimum. It works for me, but it doesn't seem to be a very good way to do this. Can anyone suggest a better way to achieve what I have?

Here is my code:

int[] usageHours = { 3, 3, 5, 4, 0, 0, 2, 2, 4, 25, 158, 320, 212, 356, 401, 460, 480, 403, 298, 213, 102, 87, 34, 45 };
double myAverage = usageHours.Average();
int runningTotal = 0;
int runningMaxPosition = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < usageHours.Length; i++)
{
    if (usageHours[i] > runningTotal)
    {
        runningMaxPosition = i;
        runningTotal = usageHours[i];
    }
}

txtmax.Text = Convert.ToString(runningMaxPosition)+" With: "+Convert.ToString(runningTotal)+" Users";
txtAv.Text = Convert.ToString(myAverage);

Answer 5

:

double average = usageHours.Average();
int maxPosition = Enumerable.Range(0, usageHours.Length).Max(i => usageHours[i]);
int minPosition = Enumerable.Range(0, usageHours.Length).Min(i => usageHours[i]);

Answer 6

Your code is not bad, but it will not work if all values ​​are less than zero.

Try the following:

int getArrayMaxPosition (double[] theArray) 
{    
    double maxVal = theArray[0];
    int ret = 0;
    int currentIndex = 0;

    foreach (double aValue in theArray) 
    {
        if (aValue > maxVal)
        {
             ret = currentIndex;
             maxVal = avalue;
        }
        currentIndex++;
    }

    return ret;
 }

As mentioned in a comment on Jon, Jon's solution is really the best, most direct, fastest way to do this.

If, however, you want to use Igor’s solution, then the rest is his (to get the actual positions, as well as the values):

int maxValue = Enumerable.Range(0, usageHours.Length).Max(i => usageHours[i]);
int maxPosition = Array.FindIndex(usageHours, i => i == maxValue);
int minValue = Enumerable.Range(0, usageHours.Length).Min(i => usageHours[i]);
int minPosition = Array.FindIndex(usageHours, i => i == minValue);
