The minimum (min) and maximum (max) are fundamental descriptive statistics that summarize the range of a data set. They identify the smallest and largest observations, providing quick insight into variability and potential outliers.
In practice, analysts often need to extract these values from raw data to support reporting, quality control, or further calculations such as range or interquartile range. Accurate extraction ensures downstream metrics are reliable.
To compute min and max, each observation is compared sequentially, updating the current smallest and largest values as needed. This process can be implemented programmatically for efficiency.
