Question
a. Write a function named findmax() that finds and displays the maximum values in a two dimensional array of integers. The array should be declared as a 10 row by 20 column array of integers in main() and populated with random numbers between 0 and 100.
b. Modify the function written above so that it also displays the row and column numbers of the element with the maximum value.
I have this so far, and but it's only finding the MAX of the last column/row.... and I need to display the row/column where this MAX value resides/stays/lives....:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int findmax(int array[][20]);
int main()
{
srand(time(NULL));
const int row = 10;
int array[row][20];
for (int k = 0; k < row; k++)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
array[k][k] = rand() % (100 + 1);
cout << array[k][k] << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
int max1 = findmax(array);
cout << "The maximum value is " << max1 << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
int findmax(int array[][20])
{
int i, j;
int max = array[0][0];
for (i = 1; i < 10; i++)
for (j = 1; j < 20; j++)
if (array[i][j] > max)
{
max = array[i][j];
}
return max;
}
Explanation / Answer
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int findmax(int array[][20],int &maxRow, int &maxCol);
int main()
{
srand(time(NULL));
const int row = 10;
int array[row][20];
int maxRow = 0, maxCol = 0;
for (int k = 0; k < row; k++)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
array[k][i] = rand() % (100 + 1);
cout << array[k][i] << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
int max1 = findmax(array, maxRow,maxCol );
cout << "The maximum value is " << max1 <<" at row: "<<maxRow<<" col: "<<maxCol<< endl;
// system("pause");
return 0;
}
int findmax(int array[][20],int &maxRow, int &maxCol)
{
int i, j;
int max = array[0][0];
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++){
for (j = 0; j < 20; j++){
if (array[i][j] > max)
{
max = array[i][j];
maxRow = i
;
maxCol = j;
}
}
}
return max;
}
