Hi,

I tried running the following program using cygwin.
/** @file list0201.cpp */
/** Listing 2-1. Reading Test */
/// Read the program and determine what the program does.

#include <iostream>
#include <istream>
#include <limits>
#include <ostream>

int main()
{
int min(std::numeric_limits<int>::max());
int max(std::numeric_limits<int>::min());
bool any(false);
int x;
while (std::cin >> x)
{
any = true;
if (x < min)
min = x;
if (x > max)
max = x;
}

if (x)
std::cout << "min = " << min << "\nmax = " << max << '\n';
}

the command I used is

g++ list0201.cpp -o list0201 //to compile

and

../list0201 //to run


When I run I am getting a blank screen which does not seem to
terminate .. Can someone help me

should this be

if (any)

> std::cout << "min = " << min << "\nmax = " << max << '\n';

Did you provide some input? The program is reading from std::cin and will
wait for input; e.g., using a pipe, you could provide input as follows:

echo 14 17 23 12 ¦ ./list0201

How do you end your input? You are looping until end of file condition
on cin, so you need to input an end of file character (^D on a Unix like
shell).
