Instructions



This lab picks up right where Lab05A left off. We are going to find the largest value in an array. After you have printed out the values within the array, iterate through the array searching for the largest value in the array. Print this value. (There are hints below if you need a starting point.)

An example interaction follows:

Hey! Witness my first array mojo!
Enter 15 numbers and I will tell you what they are.
Number 1: 8
Number 2: 6
Number 3: 7
Number 4: 5
Number 5: 3
Number 6: 2
Number 7: 4
Number 8: 1
Number 9: 3
Number 10: 13
Number 11: 32
Number 12: 14
Number 13: 25
Number 14: 51
Number 15: 9
So awesome!
The numbers are: 8 6 7 5 3 2 4 1 3 13 32 14 25 51 9
Have a nice day!
The largest number is: 51
Gaze at my awesome.

If you are unsure how to get started, here are the suggested steps for your function:
  • Step 1: declare a variable for the largest number, and initialize it to be the 1st value in the array.
  • Step 2: using a for loop, read each array value and update the largest number variable (if appropriate). Think carefully about which two values you need to compare.
  • Step 3: return the largest number.


Functional Requirements



  • Your function cannot make a call to the STL Algorithm method sort() . You must iterate through the array searching for the largest element yourself.
  • You must iterate through the array again after printing all the values. You should not keep track of the largest value as the user is entering them.


Lab Submission



You will submit your solution to this lab with the rest of Week05. Detailed instructions for doing this are posted in Assignment 05.
