Find the Maximum Value in an Array of Real Numbers in C#

This C# program demonstrates how to write a function that receives an array of real numbers as a parameter and returns the greatest value from that array. The function iterates through all the elements in the array and compares them to find the largest one. This kind of function is useful when working with arrays of numeric data and needing to find the highest value efficiently.

Functions in C#

Objective

1. Create a function named "Maximum" that accepts a float array as a parameter.
2. Iterate through the array to compare each element with the current maximum.
3. Return the highest value found in the array.
4. Test the function with an array of real numbers, such as {1.5f, 0.7f, 8.0f}.
5. Display the result using the console.

Write a C# function which returns the greatest value stored in an array of real numbers which is specified as parameter.

Example C# Exercise

 Copy C# Code 
using System;

class Program
{
    // Function to find the maximum value in an array of floats
    public static float Maximum(float[] data)
    {
        // Initialize the max value to the first element in the array
        float max = data[0];

        // Iterate through the array and compare each element with max
        for (int i = 1; i < data.Length; i++)
        {
            // If the current element is greater than the max, update max
            if (data[i] > max)
            {
                max = data[i];
            }
        }

        // Return the largest value found
        return max;
    }

    // Main method to test the Maximum function
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Define an array of real numbers
        float[] data = {1.5f, 0.7f, 8.0f};

        // Call the Maximum function and store the result
        float max = Maximum(data);

        // Display the result
        Console.WriteLine("The maximum value is: " + max);
    }
}

 Output

The maximum value is: 8
