Need help solving my for loop errors

[besurk]

I am creating a simple program to determine the largest and smallest number of a set of numbers entered by the user. So far this is what I have come up with. But upon testing I am getting a errors. Please help me fix my errors.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

	int largest, smallest, num1, num2;

	cout << "How many numbers do you want to enter " << endl;
	cin >> num1;



	for (int i = 1; i < num1; i++) // begining of for loop
	{
		cout << "Enter a number " << endl;
		cin >> num2;


		if (num2 > num1)
		{
			largest = num2;
			cout << "Enter a number " << endl;

		}
		
		if (num2 < num1);
		{
			smallest = num2;
			cout << "Enter a number " << endl;
			cin >> num1;
		}
		



		cout << "Your largest number is " << largest << endl;
		cout << "Your smallest number is " << smallest << endl;
		


	}

	return 0;
}

what errors are you getting ?

[Ericool]

simply push the number in a vector , then sort it , then print the first and the last.

"The variable 'largest' is being used without being initialized"

There are several errors and problems in the program.

You should read this:

thank you for the article it helped. But im still unsure how to incorporate finding the greatest value into it,

Get rid of line 32

you don't need a ; on line 28

line 15 should be
for (int i = 0; i < num1; i++)

initialize your variables
smallest=2147483647, the rest =0

line 21 should be
if (num2 > largest)

line 28 should be
if (num2 < smallest)
