Finding Max/Min values in user-defined integer array. Negative numbers included

Question

All of this works to some degree. Here's the issue:

1: User specifies array size. Let's assume size = 5.

2: User inputs 1 2 3 4 5

3: MAX number and MIN number works. All good.

ISSUE: 2: User inputs 5 4 3 2 1

3: MAX number fails. It's defaulted to Integer.MAX_VALUE

This is defined above:

int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE, max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;

The Code is here:

for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) { //READ INPUT, find smallest / largest
            numbers[i] = myScanner.nextInt();
            sum += numbers[i]; //ADD Array element values to sum.
            if (numbers[i] < min) { //Loop through array to find smallest value
                min = numbers[i];
            } else if (numbers[i] > max) { //Loop through array to find largest value
                max = numbers[i];
            }
        }

Note: This is a code snippet. "sum" belongs to the rest of the code.

Answer 1

Remove the "else", the two conditions can be true.

for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {largest
    numbers[i] = myScanner.nextInt();
    sum += numbers[i];
    if (numbers[i] < min) {
        min = numbers[i];
    }
    if (numbers[i] > max) {
        max = numbers[i];
    }
}
