How to find the largest number in java?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Programing instructions:

  • Create a class.
  • Create a function getLargest() to find the largest number from the array.
  • In the main, create an array.
  • Call the function and print the value returned by the function.
Step 2

Program:

 

//Class
public class Example{ 
    
//Method to find the largest element
public static int getLargest(int[] a, int total){  

//Assign value of first element in the largest variable.
int largest = a[0]; 

//Use loop to traverse the array
for (int i = 1; i < total; i++)   
        {  
                //Check whether the current element is greater than the value stored in the largest
                if (a[i] > largest)   
                {  
                    //Assign the value of current element in the largest
                    largest = a[i];
            }  
        }  
        //Return the largest
       return largest;  
}  

//main method
public static void main(String args[]){
    
//Array
int a[]={44,66,99,77,33,22,55};

//Size of the array
int size = a.length;

//Call the function and print the value returned by the function
System.out.println("Largest: "+ getLargest(a,size));  
}}
