Find Kth Smallest and Kth Largest Element

Code

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

void sort_array(uint8_t *arr, uint8_t n) {
    // Sort in ascending order
    for (uint8_t i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
        for (uint8_t j = 0; j < n - 1 - i; j++) {
            if (arr[j] > arr[j + 1]) {
                // Swap elements
                uint8_t 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) {
    // Your logic here
    int index = 0;
    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("%hhu %hhu", smallest, largest);
    return 0;
}
