first divide list in two, compare number from each list so we got 1list where the minimum is and second list where maximun is. Search for the min in the first list and the max in the second list. $list[$n-1-$i]){ $temp = $list[$i]; $list[$i] = $list[$n-1-$i]; $list[$n-1-$i] = $temp; } } $min = $list[0]; for($i=1;$i$max) $max=$list[$i]; } $result = array('min'=>$min, 'max'=>$max); return $result; } ?>
