Finding largest value in an array

Program plan:

Filename: “DataSet.java”

This program file is used to define a class “DataSet”. In the code,

• Define a class “DataSet”.
  • Declare class members “values[]”, “first” and “last”.
  • Define a constructor “DataSet ()”.
    • Initialize the “values[]”, “first” and “last”.
  • Define a method “getMaximum()”.
    • If the value of “first” greater than “last”,
      • Return the min value.
        • Create an object “tail” of the class “DataSet”.
        • Call the method “getMaximum” to find the maximum among the numbers.
        • Call the method “max()” and return the value.

Filename: “DataSetDemo.java”

This program file is used to define a class “DataSetDemo”. In the code,

• Define a class “DataSetDemo”.
  • Define a method “main()”.
    • Create an integer array “values[]”.
    • Create the object of the class “DataSet”.
    • Print the maximum value.
    • Print the expected maximum.
