C++ program to find the product of the largest number and the smallest number in the array using class

Submitted by Shubh Pachori, on September 05, 2022

Problem statement

Given an array, we have to find the product of the largest number and the smallest number in the array using the class and object approach.

Example:

Input:
array[0]: 2
array[1]: 4
array[2]: 6
array[3]: 7
array[4]: 5
array[5]: 9
array[6]: 8
array[7]: 4
array[8]: 3
array[9]: 2

Output: 
Smallest Number: 2 Largest Number: 9
Product of the largest and smallest number is 18

C++ code to find the product of the largest number and the smallest number in the array using the class and object approach

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// create a class
class Array {
  // private data member
 private:
  int array[10];

  // public functions
 public:
  // getArray() function to get the 
  // value of the array
  void getArray() {
    for (int index = 0; index <= 9; index++) {
      cout << "array[" << index << "]: ";
      cin >> array[index];
    }
  }

  // productArray() function to calculate the
  // product of the largest and the
  // smallest number in the array
  int productArray() {
    // initialising int type variables 
    // to perform operations
    int index_1, index_2, temp, product;

    // for loop to read the whole array
    for (index_1 = 0; index_1 <= 9; index_1++) {
      // for loop to compare numbers of array
      for (index_2 = 0; index_2 < 9 - index_1; index_2++) {
        // if condition to check if the next term is smaller than
        // this then swapping takes place
        if (array[index_2] > array[index_2 + 1]) {
          // swapping numbers if numbers
          // are not in the order
          temp = array[index_2];
          array[index_2] = array[index_2 + 1];
          array[index_2 + 1] = temp;
        }
      }
    }

    // calculating product of the Largest
    // and Smallest number in the array
    product = array[9] * array[0];

    cout << "Smallest Number: " << array[0] << " Largest Number: " << array[9]
         << endl;

    // returning the product
    return product;
  }
};

int main() {
  // create an object
  Array A;

  // int type variable to store 
  // the product
  int product;

  // calling getArray() function is called 
  // by the object to store the array
  A.getArray();

  // calling productArray() function to calculate product
  // of the largest and smallest number in the array
  product = A.productArray();

  cout << "Product of the largest and smallest number is " << product;

  return 0;
}

Output

array[0]: 1
array[1]: 23
array[2]: 4
array[3]: 5
array[4]: 6
array[5]: 7
array[6]: 8
array[7]: 9
array[8]: 10
array[9]: 4
Smallest Number: 1 Largest Number: 23
Product of the largest and smallest number is 23

Explanation

In the above code, we have created a class Array, one int type array data member array[10] to store the values, and public member functions putArray() and productArray() to store the given values in the array and to find the product of the largest and smallest number in the array.

In the main() function, we are creating an object A of class Array, reading integer values by the user of the array using the putArray() function, and finally calling the productArray() member function to find the product of the largest and smallest number in the given integer numbers in the given array. The productArray() function contains the logic to find the product of the largest and smallest number in the given numbers and printing the result.
