The complete program is given below.
Here is the program.
Examine how the if statement
changes max.
class MaxAlgorithm
{
public static void main ( String[] args )
{
int[] array = { -20, 19, 1, 5, -1, 27, 19, 5 } ;
int max;
// initialize the current maximum
max = array[0];
// scan the array
for ( int index=0; index < array.length; index++ )
{
if ( array[ index ] > max ) // examine the current element
max = array[ index ]; // if it is the largest so far, change max
}
System.out.println("The maximum of this array is: " + max );
}
}
What is the maximum of this list of integers:
-45, -23, -87, -56, -92, -12, -36
