Asked in companies
Given an array ‘arr’ of size ‘n’ find the largest element in the array.
Example:
Input: 'n' = 5, 'arr' = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Output: 5
Explanation: From the array {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, the largest element is 5.
Input Format :
The first line will contain a single integer 'n', the size of the array ‘arr’
The second line will contain ‘n’ integers representing the array elements.
Output format :
Print the maximum of elements.
Note :
You don't need to print anything. It has already been taken care of. Just implement the given function.
Approaches
We can create a temporary variable ‘temp’ and traverse the array and update the temporary variable ‘temp’ with the max of the elements.
The steps are as follows:-
- Create a temporary variable 'maxElement' and initialize it with 0.
- Traverse the array ‘arr’.
- Update ‘maxElement’ with the max of the current element of arr or 'maxElement'.
- Return 'maxElement'.
