Input numbers in 2d array and swap the largest with the smallest number in C++

Two Dimensional Array - Question 4

In this question, we will see how to input numbers in a 3X3 integer matrix (2d array) and interchange the largest with the smallest number from it in C++ programming. To know more about two dimensional array click on the two dimensional array lesson.

Q4) Write a program in C++ to input numbers in a 3X3 integer matrix (2d array) and interchange the largest with the smallest number from it.

Program

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int a[3][3], r,c,lg=0,lr,lc,sm=0,sr,sc;

    cout<<"Enter 9 numbers\n";
    for(r=0; r<3; r++)
    {
        for(c=0; c<3; c++)
        {
            cin>>a[r][c];
            if(r==0 && c==0)
            {
                lg=a[r][c];
                lr=r;
                lc=c;
                sm=a[r][c];
                sr=r;
                sc=c;
            }
            else if(a[r][c]>lg)
            {
                lg=a[r][c];
                lr=r;
                lc=c;
            }
            else if(a[r][c]<sm)
            {
                sm=a[r][c];
                sr=r;
                sc=c;
            }
        }
    }

    a[lr][lc]=sm;
    a[sr][sc]=lg;

    cout<<"\nArray after interchanging largest with the smallest number\n";
    for(r=0; r<3; r++)
    {
        for(c=0; c<3; c++)
        {
            cout<<a[r][c]<<" ";
        }
        cout<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Output

Enter 9 numbers

23
45
96
62

Array after interchanging largest with the smallest number
