Question

Write a function that returns the largest value stored in anarray-of-int. Test the function in a simpleprogram.

Answer 1

C program for finding the largest Value in array of integers

#include <stdio.h>  

/*Function that returns the largest value stored in an array-of-int*/

int max(int array[], int m)  

{  

   int i;  

     /* Initializing variable maximum with array[0]*/

   int maximum = array[0];  

    /* Traversing array elements from 2 to last and comparing it with variable maximum*/

   for (i = 1; i < m; i++)  

       if (array[i] > maximum)  

           maximum = array[i];  

 

   return maximum; //returning maximum element of array

}  

//driver function  

int main()  

{  

   int array[] = {5, 78, 23, 65, 9}; //Input array

   int m = sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0]); //finding the length of array

   printf("Largest in given array is %d", max(array, m));/*function calling and printing maximum element of array */

   return 0;  

}

Output:

Largest in given array is 78
