java integer最大值,java – 对Integer.MAX_VALUE和Integer.MIN_VALUE的解释,以查找数组中的最小和最大值...

我似乎不了解Integer.MAX_VALUE和Integer.MIN_VALUE如何帮助找到数组中的最小值和最大值.

我了解这个方法(下面的伪代码)在找到最小值和最大值时是如何工作的：

max = A[0], min = A[0]

for each i in A

if A[i] > max then max = A[i]

if A[i] < min then min = A[i]

但是对于这种方法,我不明白Integer.MAX_VALUE和Integer.MIN_VALUE的目的：

import java.util.Scanner;

class MyClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int[] numbers; // declaring the data type of numbers

numbers = new int[3]; //assigning the number of values numbers will contain

int smallest = Integer.MAX_VALUE, largest = Integer.MIN_VALUE;

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Please enter 3 numbers");

for(int counter = 0; counter

numbers[counter] = input.nextInt();

}

for(int i = 0; i

if(numbers[i]

smallest = numbers[i];

else if(numbers[i]>largest)

largest = numbers[i];

}

System.out.println("Largest is "+largest);

System.out.println("Smallest is "+smallest);

}

}

> System.out.println(Integer.MAX_VALUE)给出2147483647

> System.out.println(Integer.MIN_VALUE)给出-2147483648

那么Integer.MIN_VALUE和Integer.MIN_VALUE的目的在于比较呢？
