Answer 1

A)
#include<stdio.h>


int main(){
	float numbers[10];
	int i;
	float minimum;
	float maximum;
	for(i=0;i<10;i++){
		printf("Enter the number %d: ",(i+1));
		scanf("%f",&numbers[i]);
	}
	


	minimum=numbers[0];
	maximum=numbers[0];
	for(i=0;i<10;i++){
		if(numbers[i]>maximum){
			maximum=numbers[i];
		}
		if(numbers[i]<minimum){
			minimum=numbers[i];
		}
	}


	printf("\nThe minimum float value: %.2f\n",minimum);
	printf("the maximum float value: %.2f\n",maximum);


	scanf("%d",&i);
	return 0;
}

B)
To run the program use the following command (linux): 
g++ -Wall -pedantic -std=c++11 -g *.cpp && valgrind --leak-check=full ./a.out

C)
