Chapter 13, Problem 2PE

Program Plan Intro

Largest Element

Program Plan:

• Define the method “findMax()” which has array values, start value “start”, and end value “end” as an argument.
  • Check the “if” condition, check the value of “start” is equal to “0”.
    • If the condition is true, assign “ans[start]” into variable “ans”.
  • Check the “if” condition, check the value of “start” greater than “end”.
    • Return the value of “ans”.
  • If the condition returns false, using “if” condition check the greater value.
    • If the condition is true, assign “arr[start]” to variable “ans”.
  • Call the recursive call “findMax()” for answer.
• Define the “main()” function:
  • Declare and initialize the appropriate variables.
  • Call the “findMax()” method and print the largest number on screen.
