 OUTPUT :

 TEST CASE 1:

 Enter the number of elements in the array : 7

 Enter the elements of the array : 31 20 18 27 52 16 25

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The minimum element is : 16

 The maximum element is : 52
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 TEST CASE 2:

 Enter the number of elements in the array : 5

 Enter the elements of the array : 25 45 15 5 10

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The minimum element is : 5

 The maximum element is : 45
