#032 Finding the maximum value in an array

What is the first step in the algorithm after creating the array?

• Creating a for loop

• Creating a variable to hold the largest value

• Printing the result

• Comparing array elements

Why does the programmer initially set the 'largest' variable to the first element of the array?

• Because it's always the largest value

• To save time

• Because we don't know what the largest value will be yet

• It's a Java requirement

What type of loop is used to traverse the array?

• While loop

• Do-while loop

• For loop

• Enhanced for loop

What is the purpose of the if statement inside the loop?

•  To end the loop

• To print the current value

• To check if the current element is larger than the 'largest' variable

• To reset the 'largest' variable

What would happen if the array contained all negative numbers?

• The algorithm would fail

• The result would always be zero

• The algorithm would still find the largest negative number

• The program would crash
