accessing array in loop code example

Example 1: arrays with for loops

// Find-Max variant
// Use very small number, Integer.MIN_VALUE,
// as the initial max value.
public int findMax2(int[] nums) {
  int maxSoFar = Integer.MIN_VALUE;  // about -2 billion

  // Look at every element
  for (int i=0; i maxSoFar) {
      maxSoFar = nums[i];
    }
  }
  
  return maxSoFar;
}

Example 2: arrays with for loops

// Another way to write search that combines
// the "end of array" and "found" logic in one
// while loop. As a matter of style, we prefer
// the above version that uses the standard
// for-all loop.
public int searchNotAsGood(int[] nums, int target) {
  int i = 0;
  while (i
