hi....yah,,,,it was a good link.....I have made this program in c and c++
but If u know classes and packages in java that deal with 2d array...
like they accept an 2d array ref. and print the position of max and min array element....if there is something like this available in java please let me know....I will be thankful.....reply soon.....

The implementation would be reasonably similar to code.
If you create 2 methods (let's be creative and call them min and max).

Min would work something like this (this should give an idea of the logic, not necessarily exactcode):

void min(int[] input)
{
  int min =input[0];
  int minIndex = 0;
  for(int i=0; i<input.size; i++)  // I can never remember whether Java likes length or size
  {
    if(input[i] < min)
    {
      min = input;
      minIndex = i;
    }
  }
  System.out.println("The minimum value was at index: " + minIndex);
}
 

The max method would be implemented in a similar way, and if you wanted you could return either the index or the actual value to the calling function
