Sum of Maximum and Minimum Elements Problem Statement
Given an array ARR
of size N
, your objective is to determine the sum of the largest and smallest elements within the array.
Follow Up:
Can you achieve the above task using the least number of comparisons possible?
Input:
The first line contains an integer T
, the number of test cases.
For each test case, the first line contains an integer N
, representing the size of the array ARR
.
The second line contains N
space-separated integers, which are the elements of array ARR
.
Output:
For each test case, output the sum of the maximum and minimum elements in the array ARR
.
Example:
Input:
2
5
1 3 5 7 9
4
-10 4 7 19
Output:
10
9
Explanation:
In the first test case, the maximum is 9
and the minimum is 1
. Their sum is 10
.
In the second test case, the maximum is 19
and the minimum is -10
. Their sum is 9
.
Constraints:
1 ≤ T ≤ 10
1 ≤ N ≤ 10^5
-10^9 ≤ ARR[i] ≤ 10^9
Note:
You are not required to print anything; the function should handle processing the results.
