In this tutorial you will learn about the C++ Program to Find Largest Element of an Array and its application with practical example.
In this tutorial, we will learn to create a C++ program that will Find Largest Elements of an Array using C++ programming.
Prerequisites
Before starting with this tutorial we assume that you are best aware of the following C++ programming topics:
- Operators.
- looping statements.
- Basic input/output.
- Basic c++ programming
- For Loop.
- Array.
What is array?
An Array is a collection variable elements that can store multiple values in a single variable of same type.In Computer Science,an array is a data structure, or simply an array, is a data structure consisting of a collection of elements.
C++ Program to Find Largest Element of an Array
In this program we will find Largest Element in an Array. We would first declared and initialized the required variables. then we would prompt user to input elements of array .Later we will find the Biggest element in an Array.

#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int max, a[5], i; // dclaring avriables cout<<"\n Enter 5 Elements of array : \n"; for(i=0; i<5; i++) { cin>>a[i]; } cout<<"\n Searching for Biggest Number ...\n\n"; max=a[0]; for(i=0; i<5; i++) { if(max<a[i]) { max=a[i]; // finding max value of an array } } cout<<"Largest Number in a an Array = "<<max; return 0; } |
Output
In the above program, we have first declared and initialized a set variables required in the program.
- a[5] = it will hold entered elements.
- max =it will give largest number in an array.
- i = for iteration.
In our program, we will take 5 values form user in an array ,
after taking these values we will find the maximum number in an array.
First of all we will take 5 values from user in variable a[5].
After that we will initialize max=a[0] i.e first element of a an array.
Now we compare the value of max with each and every value present in array a[5]. While comparing, if the value of max is less than in condition, then the value of max (value which is greater than max values) swapped and gets initialized to max and at the end we will get the maximum value within the array in max.
