[Solved] Get largest element in array in C# [duplicate]

Question

You can loop through the array to get the maximum value and you only need to retain the largest value found thus far, so:

int max = Int32.MinValue;
for (var i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
   if (array[i] > max) {
     max = array[i];
   }
}
Console.WriteLine(max);

You can also use .Max() and that does this in the background.
