Question

Write a program that reads in n floating-point numbers and prints the largest of them. (Largest means most positive. So 5.1 is larger than -12.44.) The input and output should be exactly: How many numbers do you have? [USER ENTERS A POSITIVE INTEGER] Input number (count 1): [USER ENTERS A DECIMAL NUMBER] Input number (count 2): [USER ENTERS A DECIMAL NUMBER] Input number (count X): [USER ENTERS A DECIMAL NUMBER] The maximum is X. Assume the first input is indeed a positive integer. You may not use any libraries aside from iostream and string. Name your file my_max.cpp.

Explanation / Answer

//Program to print maximum among n floating point numbers

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int num;
float inputs;
float max=0;// Initialize it to 0 in the beginning
   std::cout << "How many numbers do you have?" << std::endl;
   std::cin >> num;
   //using for loop;
   for(int i=0;i<num;i++){
   cin>>inputs;
   if(inputs>max)
   max=inputs;
   }
   cout<<"The maximum is "<<max;
  
   return 0;
}
