how to find largest element in array code example
Example 1: find maximum number in array
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i, n;
float arr[100];
printf("Enter the number of elements (1 to 100): ");
scanf("%d", &n);
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
printf("Enter number%d: ", i + 1);
scanf("%f", &arr[i]);
}
for (i = 1; i < n; ++i) {
if (arr[0] < arr[i])
arr[0] = arr[i];
}
printf("Largest element = %.2f", arr[0]);
return 0;
}
Example 2: 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));
