Find Maximum Element Using Pointer Walk

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int find_max_element(int *ptr, int n) {
    if (n == 1)
        return *ptr;
    int tmp = *ptr;
    int *pos = ptr;
    int *end = (pos+n-1);
    while (pos != end)
        {
         if (*(pos) > *(pos - 1)) {
            tmp = *pos;
         }
         pos++;
        }
    
    return tmp;
}

int main() {
    int n;
    scanf("%d", &n);

    int arr[100];
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
    }

    int result = find_max_element(arr, n);
    printf("%d", result);

    return 0;
}
