Using recursion in c find the largest element in an array

---

---

C code to get largest element of an array by recursion:

#include<stdio.h>

#define MAX 100

int getMaxElement(int []);

int size;

int main(){

    int arr[MAX],max,i;

    printf("Enter the size of the array: ");

    scanf("%d",&size);

    printf("Enter %d elements of an array: ", size);

    for(i=0;i<size;i++)

      scanf("%d",&arr[i]);

    max=getMaxElement(arr);

    printf("Largest element of an array is: %d",max);

    return 0;

}

int getMaxElement(int arr[]){

    static int i=0,max =-9999;

    if(i < size){

         if(max<arr[i])

           max=arr[i];

      i++;

      getMaxElement(arr);

    }

    return max;

}

Sample output:

Enter the size of the array: 5

Enter 5 elements of an array: 1 4 5 6 2

Largest element of an array is: 6

C code to get largest element of an array without recursion:

#include<stdio.h>

#define MAX 100

int getMaxElement(int []);

int size;

int main(){

    int arr[MAX],max,i;

    printf("Enter the size of the array: ");

    scanf("%d",&size);

    printf("Enter %d elements of an array: ", size);

    for(i=0;i<size;i++)

      scanf("%d",&arr[i]);

    max=getMaxElement(arr);

    printf("Largest element of an array is: %d",max);

    return 0;

}

int getMaxElement(int arr[]){

    int i=1,max;

    max=arr[0];

    while(i < size){

      if(max<arr[i])

           max=arr[i];

      i++;

    }

    return max;

}
