In this tutorial we will learn How to Find Largest Element in an Array with some examples. The largest element is the element which is greater than all the other elements inside the array.
Explanation:
1. Create a method which takes an array.
2. Declare a int variable and assign the first value of the array.
3. Iterate the loop and assign the value to that variable if the array’s element value is grater that it.
Code to Find the Largest Element in an Array
Java
public class Test {
static void largestElementInArray(int arr[]){
int largest = arr[0];
for(int i = 0; i<arr.length; i++){
if(largest < arr[i]){
largest = arr[i];
}
}
System.out.print("largest element = " + largest);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int arr2[] = { 1, 200, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
largestElementInArray(arr2);
}
}
We will get the following answer.
Answer : largest element = 200
JavaScript
function largestElement(arr){
var largest = arr[0];
for(let i = 0; i<arr.length; i++){
if(largest < arr[i]){
largest = arr[i];
}
}
console.log("largest element = " + largest);
}
var numbers = [1, 13, 45, 122, 45, 23]
largestElement(numbers)
Answer : largest element = 200
Time complexity: O(N), for both the above functions.
Space: O(1)
