Maximum Element in an Array using Functions

• Problem Description

  
  Write a program to find the maximum element in an array. 
  
  Input Format:
  
  Input consists of n+1 integers. The first integer corresponds to n , the size of the array. The next n integers correspond to the elements in the array. Assume that the maximum value of n is 15.
  
  Output Format:
  
  Refer sample output for details.

• Test Case 1

  
  Input (stdin)

  5
  
  2 3 6 8 1
  
  

  Expected Output

  8 is the maximum element in the array

• Test Case 2

  
  Input (stdin)

  7
  
  9 8 7 6 5 4 3
  
  

  Expected Output

  9 is the maximum element in the array

Solution

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

  int n,max=0,i,a[20];

  scanf("%d",&n);

  for(i=0;i<n;i++)

  {

    scanf("%d",&a[i]);

    if(a[i]>max)

      max=a[i];

  }

  printf("%d is the maximum element in the array",max);

  return 0;

}
