How do you get turing to find the highest value and lowest value in an array? |

- Make an assumption about what the highest value is. - Check if the array contains an element that's higher. - Repeat until all elements have been checked. similar approach for the lowest value. |

You don't even have to assume in Turing, you can use maxint and minint. |
