Find Maximum Element Using Pointer Walk

assume *ptr = max_val

#include <stdio.h>

int find_max_element(int *ptr, int n) {
    // Your logic here
    int max_val = *ptr++;
    while(--n){
        max_val = (*ptr > max_val) ? *ptr : max_val;
        ptr++;
    }
    return max_val;
}

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;
}

Solving Approach

assume 1st index as maximum value, iterate through the array and compare against each.
