Java Program to Find Largest Element of an Array

A Java program to find the largest element in an array.

Problem Description

Write a Java program to find the largest element in an array.

Code

LargestElement.java
public class LargestElement {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double[] numArray = { 23.4, -34.5, 50.0, 33.5, 55.5, 43.7, 5.7, -66.5 };
        double largest = numArray[0];

        for (double num : numArray) {
            if (largest < num)
                largest = num;
        }

        System.out.format("Largest element = %.2f", largest);
    }
}

Output

Largest element = 55.50

Explanation

  1. Initialize: Assume the first element is the largest.
  2. Compare: Iterate through the array and compare each element with the current largest.
  3. Update: If an element is larger, update the largest variable.
