Find Kth Smallest and Kth Largest Element

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

void sort_array(uint8_t *arr, uint8_t n) {
    int temp = 0;
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
        for(int j=0;j<n-i-1;j++){
            if(arr[j] > arr[j+1]){
                temp = arr[j];
                arr[j] = arr[j+1];
                arr[j+1] = temp;
            }
        }
    }
}

void find_kth_elements(uint8_t *arr, uint8_t n, uint8_t k, uint8_t *smallest, uint8_t *largest) {
    sort_array(arr, n);
    *smallest = arr[k-1];
    *largest = arr[n-k];
}

int main() {
    uint8_t n, k;
    scanf("%hhu", &n);
    uint8_t arr[100];
    
    for (uint8_t i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        scanf("%hhu", &arr[i]);
    }

    scanf("%hhu", &k);

    uint8_t smallest, largest;
    find_kth_elements(arr, n, k, &smallest, &largest);
    // printf("\n");
    printf("%hhu %hhu", smallest, largest);
    return 0;
