Write a function named "location_of_largest" that takes as its arguments the following:


(1) an array of integer values;
(2) an integer that tells how many integer values are in the array.


The function should return the subscript of the element containing the largest of the values in the array. 


Thus, for example, if the array that's passed to the function looks like this:

58  26 90 34 71 


then the function should return the integer 2 as its value.

If there is more than one cell containing the largest of the values in the array, then the function should return the smallest of the subscripts of the cells containing the largest values. For example, if the array that's passed to the function is

 58 | 26 | 91 | 34 | 70 | 91 | 88 

then the largest value occurs in cells 2 and 5 , so the function should return the integer value 2.
