C code to find largest and smallest number in an array

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

  int a[50],size,i,big,small;

  printf("\nEnter the size of the array: ");

  scanf("%d",&size);

  printf("\nEnter %d elements in to the array: ", size);

  for(i=0;i<size;i++)

      scanf("%d",&a[i]);

  big=a[0];

  for(i=1;i<size;i++){

      if(big<a[i])

           big=a[i];

  }

  printf("Largest element: %d",big);

  small=a[0];

  for(i=1;i<size;i++){

      if(small>a[i])

           small=a[i];

  }

  printf("Smallest element: %d",small);

  return 0;

}

Sample Output:

Enter the size of the array: 4

Enter 4 elements in to the array: 2 7 8 1

Largest element: 8

Smallest element: 1
