1. Read the Input: First, I took the size of the array n and then read the n integer elements into an array.

2. Initialize a Variable: I initialized a variable (let’s say maxNum) with the first element of the array. This will hold the maximum value found so far.

3. Traverse the Array: I iterated through the rest of the array elements one by one.

4. Compare and Update: For each element, I compared it with maxNum. If the current element was greater than maxNum, I updated maxNum with this new value.

5. Return the Result: After completing the loop, I returned maxNum as the final result, which represented the maximum number in the array.

Step 1: Understand the Problem Clearly
Given an integer N, we need to find all possible sets (M) of consecutive natural numbers whose sum is exactly equal to N. Each set should have at least two numbers.

Step 2: Recall the Formula for Sum of Consecutive Numbers
The sum of k consecutive numbers starting from x can be expressed as:
Sum = k * x + (k * (k - 1)) / 2
We can rearrange this formula to find valid pairs of (k, x) such that the sum equals N.

Step 3: Iterate Over Possible Lengths (k)
I looped over possible values of k (starting from 2) and continued as long as the sum of the first k natural numbers is less than or equal to N.

Step 4: Check for Integer Starting Point (x)
For each k, I rearranged the formula to solve for x. If x comes out to be a positive integer, then that’s a valid sequence.

Step 5: Store the Valid Sequences
Whenever I found a valid (k, x), I constructed the sequence starting from x and of length k, and stored it as one of the solutions.

Step 6: Return All Valid Sets
After completing the loop, I returned or printed all such sequences whose sum is equal to N.
