Find Maximum Element Using Pointer Walk

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int find_max_element(int *ptr, int n) {
    int i=0,j=0,max=*ptr;
    int *start=ptr,*nxt=ptr;
    while(i<n){
        j=i+1;
        nxt=start;
        while(j<n){
            if(*start<*nxt)
            {
                max=*nxt;
            }
            nxt++;
            j++;
        }
        start++;
        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;
}
