public class Kata {
  public static String highAndLow(String numbers) {
    
    String[] array = numbers.split(" ");
	String big = array[0];
	String small = array[0];
		
	for(int i=0; i<array.length; i++) 
	{
	  if(Integer.parseInt(big) <= Integer.parseInt(array[i])) 
	  {
		big = array[i];
	  }
	  else if(Integer.parseInt(small) >= Integer.parseInt(array[i])) 
	  {
  		small = array[i];
          }
	}
	return (big +" "+ small);
  }
