Find largest number in an array

Find largest number in an Array


Problem Statement

Design an algorithm to find maximum value among a set of N numbers.

Solution


Algorithm Name: Search Max(A, N, R).

Input : A is an array contains N (>=0) number of real numbers.

Output: R will hold the index of the first maximum value in the the array A.

Step 1: R = 0.

Step 2: i = 1.

Step 3: WHILE ( i< N )

IF ( A[i] > A[R] ) Then

R = i

EndIf

i = i + 1

EndWhile.

Step 4: Return.

Qus. 1 : <p>What will be the output of the following algorithm for a=5, b-8, c=6 ?</p><pre><span style="font-size: 12.6px;">Step 1: Start Step 2: Declare variables a, b and c. Step 3 Read variables a, b and c. Step 4: If a &lt; b If a &lt;c Display a is the smallest number. Else Display c is the smallest number. Else If b &lt;c Display b is the smallest number. Else Display c is the smallest number Step 5:Stop</span><br></pre>

  1. a is the smallest number
  2. b is the smallest number
  3. c is the smallest number
  4. stop
