Java - Program to Find Largest Element in an Array
In this section, we will show you how to find the largest element in an Array.
- Using Iterative Method
- Using Arrays.sort() Method
1. Using Iterative Method
public class Main {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
final int[] array = {1,4,44,5,66,2};
largestElement(array);
}
private static int largestElement(final int[] array){
// Initialize maximum element
int max = array[0];
// Traverse array elements from second and
// compare every element with current max
for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i++){
if (array[i] > max){
max = array[i];
}
}
System.out.println(max);
return max;
}
}
Console Output:
66
2. Using Arrays.sort() Method
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Main {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
final int[] array = {1,4,44,5,66,2};
final int max = largestElement(array);
System.out.println(max);
}
private static int largestElement(final int[] array){
Arrays.sort(array);
return array[array.length - 1];
}
}
Console Output:
