finding maximum & minimum number from 2 numbers in an array

c#

Solution

If all you have is two numbers, you do not need an array: `System.Math` provides functions to find the smaller and the larger of two numbers, called `Math.Max` and `Math.Min`.

// Int32.Parse takes a string, and returns an int, not a string:
int n1 = Int32.Parse(num1);
int n2 = Int32.Parse(num2);
// Math.Min and Math.Max functions pick the min and max
int min = Math.Min(n1, n2);
int max = Math.Max(n1, n2);
// Show both numbers in a message box in one go using String.Format:
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Min:{0} Max:{1}", min, max));

Problem

I'm trying to find the maximum and minimum numbers out of 2 integers that a user has inputted. Firstly i have converted the string to int, then went to put them into an array so i can manipulate them. I think i'm getting stuck when it comes to assigning variables to an array. But i couldn't see any examples of arrays with variables assigned to them, which is probably where i'm going wrong. ``` private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string txtbxnum1 = Int32.Parse(num1); string txtbxnum2 = Int32.Parse(num2); int[] numbers = new int[2] {0,1}; int numbers [0] = num1; int numbers [1] = num2; int maximumNumber = Max.numbers(); int minimumNumber = Min.numbers(); MessageBox.Show (maximumNumber.Text); } ``` I would be glad of any help or direction.
