Question

 I wrote the following code, but it's not giving me the correct result. Can you help me identify what's wrong and suggest a solution?"

def find_max_element(arr):
    if len(arr) == 0:
        return None

    max_element = arr[0]
    for num in arr:
        if num > max_element:
            max_element = num

    return max_element

# Example usage:
numbers = [4, 8, 2, 10, 5]
result = find_max_element(numbers)
print(result)

 

The expected output is to be 10, which is the maximum element in the numbers array. However, the code doesn't seem to be giving the correct result. Can you guide the me on what might be wrong with the code and help them fix it?
