You MUST use VECTORS in this lab. Do NOT use ARRAYS.

Part 1: Largest and Smallest Vector Values

Specifications:

Write a program that generates 10 random integers between 50 and 100 (inclusive) and puts them into a vector. The program should display the largest and smallest values stored in the vector.

Create 3 functions in addition to your main function.

• One function should generate the random numbers and store them in the vector.
• A second function should find the largest number in the vector.
• The third function should find the smallest number in the vector.

Your main function should call these functions and display the vector, the largest value and the smallest value.

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

vector<int> generate_vector() {
    vector<int> v;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
        v.push_back(50 + (rand() % 51));
    }
    return v;
}

int minimum(vector<int> v) {
    int min = v[0];
    for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); ++i) {
        if (v[i] < min)
            min = v[i];
    }
    return min;
}

int maximum(vector<int> v) {
    int max = v[0];
    for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); ++i) {
        if (v[i] > max)
            max = v[i];
    }
    return max;
}

int main() {
    srand(time(NULL));
    vector<int> v = generate_vector();
    cout << "Vector is: ";
    for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); ++i) {
        cout << v[i] << " ";
    }
    cout << endl;
    cout << "Minimum: " << minimum(v) << endl;
    cout << "Maximum: " << maximum(v) << endl;
    return 0;
