Hi minhhau,
1.( if((counter == 0)||(num[counter] > max))
max = num[counter]; )
Line 1: these lines shows that if we are strting to search for MAX number (i.e
if counter ==0) or if the number at current position is greater then the VALUES
stored in the MAX valriable then
Line 2: store the value in max variable.
2. Now to change it to get the minimum number, this line will be as -
( if((counter == 0)||(num[counter] < max))
I hope these will clear you doubts.
Thanks,
