Write an algorithm to find the maximum element in the given array.

Write an algorithm to find the maximum element in the given array.

Step 1 : [Assume 1st element is the smallest] small = A [ 0 ]

Step 2 : POS = 0

Step 3 : [ Find the smallest element in the array and its position] For I = 1 to N – 1 Do

Step 4 : If ( A [ I ] < small ) Then

Step 5 : small = A [ I ]

Step 6 : POS = 1

[ End if ]

[ End of step 3 for loop ]

Step 7: [ Print the smallest and its position]

Print “ Smallest element = “ , small , “ position = “ , POS.

Step 8: Exit.
