LabVIEW
Arrays
Hi veeru,
"split each element separately and find the maximum and minimum of that element" ???
You want to have a scalar value and get the min/max from it??? Or the min/max of the whole array? There's an "Array Min/Max" function in the array palette!
There's also a Min/Max function in the comparison palette that would simplify your attached vi a lot

What does this have to do with the original question?
Are you trying to keep track of the min/max while the code is running, or do you just want the min/max after the fact? If you want it after the fact, just autoindex the values and use the Array Min & Max function.
To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

OK, it seems you want to keep the current max and min in a shift register. You have a serious logical flaw and are also doing things way too complicated.
First of all, the shift registers need to be initialized with "-inf" and "inf" respectively, not zero! For example if asll your numbers are >0, your min would be stuck at 0 instead of the real min value.
The comparison can be done with the max&Min primitive (from the comparison palette). This is much simpler than your comparison and select constructs.
Here's a quick draft. Modify as needed.
Of course this kind of code is more useful if you have a while loop that runs for extended periods This way you don't need to accumulate huge arrays as would be the case in some of the other suggestions here.
