Q.Write a C++ program to find maximum element in an array.

#include <iostream>   
using namespace std;
  
int main()
{  
    int a[100], size, i, max;
    cout << "Enter the number of elements in array: ";
    cin >> size;
    cout <<"Enter the integers: ";
    for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
    {
        cin >>a[i];
    }
    max = a[0];
    for (i = 1; i < size; i++)
    {
        if (a[i] > max)
        {
            max  = a[i];
        }
    }
    cout << "Maximum element in an array is " <<  max;

Q. Write an algorithm to find maximum element in an array.

1. Start
2. Read the integer `size` (number of elements).
3. Initialize an array `a` of length `size`.
4. For `i` from `0` to `size - 1`, do:
   - Read the element `a[i]`.
5. Initialize `max` as the first element of the array, `a[0]`.
6. For `i` from `1` to `size - 1`, do:
   - If `a[i]` is greater than `max`,
   - Update `max` to be `a[i]`.
7. Output the `max` value as the maximum element in the array.
8. End
