Code Challenge 4.2 - Min and Max Finder

---

Objective

Your task is to write a program that calculates the minimum and maximum values in a collection. You will implement two separate functions: one to find the minimum value and another to find the maximum value.

Skills to Practice

• Defining functions/methods.
• Passing arguments to functions.
• Returning values from functions.
• Iterating through collections.

Challenge Tasks

• Create a console project named Challenge 4-2.
• Define two functions/methods: one to find the minimum value and one to find the maximum value in a collection.
  • If you’re using a statically typed language, such as C#, you may specify either an array or a list for the parameter type.
• Example signatures:

Python

def find_min(collection):
    # code here

C#

int FindMin(int[] collection)
{
    // code here
}

// -or-

int FindMin(List<int> collection)
{
    // code here
}
