Write a C# Sharp program to find the maximum and smallest value of two variables.

Sample Solution:

C# Sharp Code:

using System;
namespace exercises {
  class Program {
    static void Main(string[] args) {
      string str = "{0}: The greater of {1,3} and {2,3} is {3}.";

      byte xByte1 = 1, xByte2 = 51;
      short xShort1 = -2, xShort2 = 52;
      int xInt1 = -3, xInt2 = 53;
      long xLong1 = -4, xLong2 = 54;
      float xSingle1 = 5.0f, xSingle2 = 55.0f;
      double xDouble1 = 6.0, xDouble2 = 56.0;
      Decimal xDecimal1 = 7m, xDecimal2 = 57m;

      Console.WriteLine("Display the greater of two values:\n");
      Console.WriteLine(str, "Byte   ", xByte1, xByte2, Math.Max(xByte1, xByte2));
      Console.WriteLine(str, "Int16  ", xShort1, xShort2, Math.Max(xShort1, xShort2));
      Console.WriteLine(str, "Int32  ", xInt1, xInt2, Math.Max(xInt1, xInt2));
      Console.WriteLine(str, "Int64  ", xLong1, xLong2, Math.Max(xLong1, xLong2));
      Console.WriteLine(str, "Single ", xSingle1, xSingle2, Math.Max(xSingle1, xSingle2));
      Console.WriteLine(str, "Double ", xDouble1, xDouble2, Math.Max(xDouble1, xDouble2));
      Console.WriteLine(str, "Decimal", xDecimal1, xDecimal2, Math.Max(xDecimal1, xDecimal2));

      string str1 = "{0}: The lesser of {1,3} and {2,3} is {3}.";

      Console.WriteLine("\nDisplay the lesser of two values:\n");
      Console.WriteLine(str1, "Byte   ", xByte1, xByte2, Math.Min(xByte1, xByte2));
      Console.WriteLine(str1, "Int16  ", xShort1, xShort2, Math.Min(xShort1, xShort2));
      Console.WriteLine(str1, "Int32  ", xInt1, xInt2, Math.Min(xInt1, xInt2));
      Console.WriteLine(str1, "Int64  ", xLong1, xLong2, Math.Min(xLong1, xLong2));
      Console.WriteLine(str1, "Single ", xSingle1, xSingle2, Math.Min(xSingle1, xSingle2));
      Console.WriteLine(str1, "Double ", xDouble1, xDouble2, Math.Min(xDouble1, xDouble2));
      Console.WriteLine(str1, "Decimal", xDecimal1, xDecimal2, Math.Min(xDecimal1, xDecimal2));
    }
  }
}

Sample Output:

Display the greater of two values:

Byte   : The greater of   1 and  51 is 51.
Int16  : The greater of  -2 and  52 is 52.
Int32  : The greater of  -3 and  53 is 53.
Int64  : The greater of  -4 and  54 is 54.
Single : The greater of   5 and  55 is 55.
Double : The greater of   6 and  56 is 56.
Decimal: The greater of   7 and  57 is 57.

Display the lesser of two values:

Byte   : The lesser of   1 and  51 is 1.
Int16  : The lesser of  -2 and  52 is -2.
Int32  : The lesser of  -3 and  53 is -3.
Int64  : The lesser of  -4 and  54 is -4.
Single : The lesser of   5 and  55 is 5.
Double : The lesser of   6 and  56 is 6.
Decimal: The lesser of   7 and  57 is 7.
