Array Maximum Element
This program finds the maximum element in an array.
Problem Statement
Write a Java program to find the maximum element in an integer array.
Source Code
| 1 | public class ArrayMax { |
| 2 | public static void main(String[] args) { |
| 3 | int[] arr = {12, 45, 67, 23, 89, 34}; |
| 4 | int max = arr[0]; |
| 5 | for(int i=1; i<arr.length; i++) { |
| 6 | if(arr[i] > max) max = arr[i]; |
| 7 | } |
| 8 | System.out.println("Maximum element: " + max); |
| 9 | } |
| 10 | } |
Program Output
Maximum element: 89
Explanation
The variable max starts with the first element, and the for loop compares each subsequent element with max, updating it whenever a larger value is found, so the final result prints the maximum element, demonstrating a comparison operation on arrays.
