how to identify the higher number in an array code example

Example 1: java find biggest number in array

for (int counter = 1; counter < decMax.length; counter++)
{
     if (decMax[counter] > max)
     {
      max = decMax[counter];
     }
}

System.out.println("The highest maximum for the December is: " + max);

Example 2: maximum number from 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 ];

}
