Find Maximum Element Using Pointer Walk

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int find_max_element(int *ptr, int n) {
    // Your logic here
    if(n == 0)
    {
        return -1;
    }

    int max_element = *ptr;
    for(int i=1; i<n; ++i)
    {
        if(*(ptr + i) > max_element)
        {
            max_element = *(ptr + i);
        }
    }

    return max_element;
}

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;
}
