c++ help?

im just starting to work with arrays...so say you have 10 numbers in the array...whats the easiest way to get the program to find the largest one? i cant seem to wrap my head around how to use an if (if i should even be using if) to find it...

[Phats]

use a for statement, it will look like this

int temp = array[0];

for(int i=1; i<10;i++)
{
if(temp < array[i])
temp = array[i];
}


this way, you set the first number in the array to temp, then it will go through the array and if it finds a number in the array that is larger than the number in temp, it will assign the number to temp

edit: aahhh, my spacing didn't show up right, anyway, you should be able to get the idea

wtf?....you're saying you could do this in asm but you can't figure out how to do it in C?

oh my lord....You'll definatly have to work on that if you're hoping for a profession in this field :P

understanding is key....you must fully understand EVERYTHING before you even start coding. If you don't you're basically shooting in the dark, and hoping it works. You will produce very buggy and spagetti-like code and no one will like you :P
