To find the maximum element in an array, you can follow these steps:-
1. Initialize a Variable:- Start by initializing a variable, let's call it max, to store the maximum element
found so far. You can set it to the first element of the array.
2. Iterate Through the Array:- Use a loop to iterate through the entire array, starting from the second element
(index 1) and moving to the last element.
3. Comparison:- In each iteration of the loop, compare the current element with the value stored in the max
variable.
4. Update Maximum:- If the current element is greater than the value stored in max, update the max variable with
the value of the current element. This step ensures that max always holds the maximum value encountered so
far.
5. Repeat:- Continue iterating through the array, comparing each element with the current max, and updating max
whenever a larger element is found.
6. Completion of Loop:- Once you've gone through the entire array, the variable max will hold the maximum
element in the array.
7. Result:- You can then return the value of max as the maximum element in the array or use it for further
processing, such as displaying the maximum value or performing additional operations based on the maximum
value.
