Highest and lowest number in one structure

[Mimiyuu]

what I'm gonna do in my problem program? Can you help me in that one?
Create a program that you have input 5 numbers and in the output will identify the highest and lowest number. Seletion structure in turbo c++

First write a program the lets you enter five numbers and display them.

Get that working then add the logic to find the smallest/largest number.

Post some code so I can see hoe you are doing.

main ()

{
int a,b,c,d,e;
clrscr();
p("Enter a number: ");
scanf("%d%d%d%d%d",&a,&b,&c,&d,&e);
if ( a<b && a<c && a<d && a<e )
p("Lowest number: %d\n",a);
else if (a>b && b>c && c>d && d>e )
p("Highest number: %d\n",a);
else if ( b<a && b<c && b<d && d<e )
p("Lowest number: %d\n",b);
else if ( b>a && b>c && b>d && b>e )
p("Highest number: %d\n",b);
else if ( c<a && c<b && c<d && c<e )
p("Lowest number: %d\n",c);
else if (c>a && c>b && c>d && c>e )
p("Highest number: %d\n",c);
else if ( d<a && d<b && d<c && d<e )
p("Lowest number: %d\n",d);
else if ( d>a && d>b && d>c && d>e )
p("Highest number: %d\n",d);
else if ( e>a && e>b && e>c && e>d )
p("Lowest number: %d\n",e);
else if ( e<a && e<b && e<c && e<d );
p("Highest number: %d\n",e);

can you checked,what's wrong on my code?

Why dont you assume one value, say a, as highest and an other, maybe e, as the lowest and check each value(b,c,d,e and a,b,c,d) one by one against the assumed values. This logic should reduce the number of comparisons required. It'll look a lot cleaner too.
