13. Find largest element of given array. code example

Example 1: Write a function that returns the largest element in a list

def return_largest_element(array):
    largest = 0
    for x in range(0, len(array)):
        if(array[x] > largest):
            largest = array[x]
    return largest

Example 2: find the maximum number from an int Array

---without sort method---
public static int maxValue( int[]  n ) {

int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;

for(int each: n)

if(each > max)

max = each;

 
return max;
  
---with sort method---
public static int maxValue( int[]  n ) {

Arrays.sort( n );

return  n [ n.lenth-1 ];

}

Example 3: kth largest element in an array javascript

function nthlargest(arra,highest){
			var x = 0,
				y = 0,
				z = 0,
				temp = 0,
				tnum = arra.length, 
				flag = false, 
				result = false; 
   
			while(x < tnum){
				y = x + 1; 
				
				if(y < tnum){
					for(z = y; z < tnum; z++){
						
						if(arra[x] < arra[z]){
							temp = arra[z];
							arra[z] = arra[x];
							arra[x] = temp;
							flag = true; 
						}else{
							continue;
						}	
					}					
				}
				
				if(flag){
					flag = false;
				}else{
					x++; 
					if(x === highest){ 
                      
						result = true;
					}	
				}
				if(result){
					break;
				}
			}

			return (arra[(highest - 1)]);	
		}
		
console.log(nthlargest([ 43, 56, 23, 89, 88, 90, 99, 652], 4));
