Write a program to find the maximum and minimum element in an array using threads.

Code for Program to find the maximum and minimum element in an array using threads in C Programming

# include <pthread.h>
# define arrSize 10

struct StructMaxMin

    int iCount;
    for(iCount=0;iCount<arrSize;iCount++)
