Program to find Largest Element in Matrix

In c programming, it is possible to take a numerical input for the size of the matrix and the elements of the matrix from the user and find the Largest Element in Matrix with the help of a very small amount of code. The C language has many types of header libraries which has supported function in them with the help of these files the programming is easy.

Algorithm:-

With the help of this program, we can find the Largest Element in Matrix.

1. Declaring the variables for the program.

2. Taking the input elements of matrix.

3. Calculating the largest elements of matrix. 

4. Printing the calculated elements.

5. End Program.

Program:-

/* C Program to find Largest Element in Matrix */
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    /* declaring the variable local for the program */ 
    int mat[3][3], i, j, max;
    /* taking in put from the user in the form of matrix  3*3 */
    printf("Enter any 3*3 matrix: ");
    /* Reading the matrix from the user with the help of for loop */
    for(i=0; i<3; i++)
    {
        for(j=0; j<3; j++)
            scanf("%d", &mat[i][j]);
    }
    /* Finding the largest element in the matrix with the help of loop */
    max = mat[0][0];
    for(i=0; i<3; i++)
    {
        for(j=0; j<3; j++)
        {
            if(max<mat[i][j])
                max = mat[i][j];
        }
    }
    /* Printing the output largest number from the matrix  */
    printf("\nLargest Element = %d", max);
 
    return 0;
}

/* C Program to find Largest Element in Matrix */

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

/* declaring the variable local for the program */

int mat[3][3], i, j, max;

/* taking in put from the user in the form of matrix 3*3 */

printf("Enter any 3*3 matrix: ");

/* Reading the matrix from the user with the help of for loop */

for(i=0; i<3; i++)

{

for(j=0; j<3; j++)

scanf("%d", &mat[i][j]);

}

/* Finding the largest element in the matrix with the help of loop */

max = mat[0][0];

for(i=0; i<3; i++)

{

for(j=0; j<3; j++)

{

if(max<mat[i][j])

max = mat[i][j];

}

/* Printing the output largest number from the matrix */

printf("\nLargest Element = %d", max);

return 0;

}

Output:-

In the above program, we have first initialized the required variable.

mat[3][3]= it will hold the integer value.

i= it will hold the integer value.
j= it will hold the integer value.

Taking the elements of the matrix from the user.

Calculating the largest element matrix.

Printing the largest element of the matrix.
