Finding the max/min value in an array of primitives using Java

Question

It\'s trivial to write a function to determine the min/max value in an array, such as:

/**
 * 
 * @param chars
 * @return the max value in the array of chars         


        

Answer 1

    public int getMin(int[] values){
        int ret = values[0];
        for(int i = 1; i < values.length; i++)
            ret = Math.min(ret,values[i]);
        return ret;
    }
