C++ Exercises: Find the largest element of a given array of integers

C++ Array: Exercise-1 with Solution

Write a C++ program to find the largest element of a given array of integers.

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int find_largest(int nums[], int n) {
  return *max_element(nums, nums + n);
}

int main() {
  int nums[] = {
    5,
    4,
    9,
    12,
    8
  };
  int n = sizeof(nums) / sizeof(nums[0]);
    cout << "Original array:";
    for (int i=0; i < n; i++) 
    cout << nums[i] <<" ";
    
  cout << "\nLargest element of the said array: "<< find_largest(nums, n);
  return 0;
}

Sample Output:

Original array:5 4 9 12 8 
Largest element of the said array: 12
