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

 import java.util.Scanner;

public class MaxInArray {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        // Ask the user for the size of the array
        System.out.print("Enter the number of elements in the array: ");
        int n = scanner.nextInt();

        int[] arr = new int[n];

        // Read array elements
        System.out.println("Enter " + n + " integers:");
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            arr[i] = scanner.nextInt();
        }

        // Initialize max with the first element
        int max = arr[0];

        // Traverse the array to find the maximum
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
            if (arr[i] > max) {
                max = arr[i];
            }
        }

        // Display the maximum element
        System.out.println("Maximum element in the array is: " + max);

        scanner.close();
    }

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

1. Start
2. Read n (number of elements)
3. Read n integers into an array arr[]
4. Initialize max = arr[0]
5. Loop from i = 1 to n - 1:
    a. If arr[i] > max, then set max = arr[i]
       Print max
6. End
