>C# Sharp Exercises: Get the larger value between first and last element of an array of integers

Sample Solution:

C# Sharp Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class Exercise51
{  
    public static void Main() 
    {
        // Initialize an integer array
        int[] nums = {1, 2, 5, 7, 8};

        // Display the contents of the array
        Console.WriteLine("\nArray1: [{0}]", string.Join(", ", nums));

        // Initialize a variable to store the highest value
        var h_val = nums[0];

        // Loop through the array to find the highest value
        for (var i = 0; i < nums.Length; i++)
        {
            // Check if the current element is greater than the first element
            if (nums[i] > nums[0])
                h_val = nums[i]; // Update the highest value if condition is met
        }

        // Display the highest value between the first and last values of the array
        Console.WriteLine("\nHighest value between first and last values of the said array: {0}", h_val);
    } 
}

Sample Output:

Array1: [1, 2, 5, 7, 8]                                                
                                                                       
Highest value between first and last values of the said array: 8

Write a C# program to return the highest value among the first, middle, and last elements of an array (length should be odd).
Write a C# program to find which value is greater: sum of first and last elements or the middle element.
Write a C# program to return the larger of the first or last elements only if they are odd numbers.
Write a C# program to compare the first and last values of the array and return the absolute difference only if the array length is odd.
