Find Maximum Element Using Pointer Walk

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int find_max_element(int *ptr, int n) {
    int max;
    for( int i = 0; i < n; ++i )
    {
        if (i==0) 
        {
            max = *( ptr + i );
            continue;
        } 
        else 
        {
            if ( max < *( ptr + i ) ) 
            {
                max = *( ptr + i);
            }
        }
    }
    return max;
}

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;
}
