Finding the largest value in an array using pointers

In this recipe, all the elements of the array will be scanned using pointers.

How to do it…

1. Define a macro by the name max with a size of 100 as follows:

#define max 100

2. Define a p integer array of a max size, as demonstrated in the following code:

int p[max]

3. Specify the number of elements in the array as follows:

printf("How many elements are there? ");
scanf("%d", &n);

4. Enter the elements for the array as follows:

for(i=0;i<n;i++)
    scanf("%d",&p[i]);

5. Define two mx and ptr pointers to point at the first element of the array as follows:

mx=p;
ptr=p;

6. The mx...
