Finding max value in an array

Question

int highNum = 0;
int m;
int list[4] = {10, 4, 7, 8};
    for (m = 0 ; m < size ; m++);
    {
        if (list[m] > highNum)
            highNum = list[m];
             


        

Answer 1

Unless you're doing this for homework and have to write the loop, just use std::max_element, as in:

int list[4] = {10, 4, 7, 8};
std::cout << *std::max_element(list, list+4);

...or better, avoid hard-coding the length:

int list[] = {10, 4, 7, 8};
std::cout << *std::max_element(std::begin(list), std::end(list));
