One Pager Cheat Sheet

  • We will learn to find the maximum and minimum values in an array using built-in methods, linear search, divide and conquer and a single-loop trick in various languages.
  • Using the built-in methods of Python, JavaScript, and Java, we can easily determine the minimum and maximum value in an array.
  • Python has two built-in functions, min() and max(), to find the minimum and maximum value in an array, respectively.
  • The Linear Search Method traverses an array from the second element to find the maximum and minimum values, which can be implemented using the Pseudocode provided and other languages to obtain the desired result.
  • The Linear Search algorithm's maximum and minimum values must be initialized to the first element of the array, as it traverses through the array from the beginning to find the maximum and minimum values.
  • The Divide and Conquer method can be used to find the minimum and maximum value of an array by recursively splitting it into two parts and comparing their results.
  • The Divide and Conquer method divides the array into two parts of varying sizes, eventually resulting in the determination of the overall minimum and maximum values.
  • We can find the minimum and maximum values of an array using the Comparison in Pairs method which involves initializing the minimum and maximum values based on the size of the array and then traversing the array in pairs within a single loop.
  • The maximum and minimum value of the array is initialized to input[0], the first element, when the array size is odd.
  • We concluded the tutorial by learning the Built-in, Linear Search, Divide and Conquer, and Comparison in Pairs methods for finding minimum and maximum values in an array and implementing these methods in Python, JavaScript and Java.
