Program to find largest and smallest among 5 numbers without using array

Question

Yesterday I went for an interview where I have been asked to create a program to find largest and smallest among 5 numbers without using array.

I know how to create

Answer 1

Let max will hold the maximum of 5 numbers. Assign the first number to max. Take the 2nd number and compare it with max if the the 2nd number is greater than max then assign it to max else do nothing. Next take the 3rd number and compare it with max , if the 3rd number is greater than max assign it to max else do nothing. Do the same for 4th and 5th number. Finally max will hold the maximum of 5 number.
