Question

12. write a c program to find the largest element in a given array of elements

Answer 1

I think this program should work fine.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

int i, n;

float arr[100];

printf("Enter total number of elements(1 to 100): ");

scanf("%d", &n);

printf("\n");

// Stores number entered by the user

for(i = 0; i < n; ++i)

{

printf("Enter Number %d: ", i+1);

scanf("%f", &arr[i]);

}

// Loop to store largest number to arr[0]

for(i = 1; i < n; ++i)

{

// Change < to > if you want to find the smallest element

if(arr[0] < arr[i])

arr[0] = arr[i];

}

printf("Largest element = %.2f", arr[0]);

return 0;

}

Very simple and easy algorithm.
