  2. Input the size of array say n and enter the elements of the array a[n]
  3. large = a[0]
  4. i = 0
  5. while ( i<n )
    5.1 if large < a[ i ]
      5.1.1 large = a [ i ]
    5.2 i++
  6. print " The largest elements in the array is " large
  7. stop

C Program

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n,large;
printf("Enter the size of array: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
int a[n];
printf("Enter the elements one by one\n");
for (int i = 0; i<n; i++) {
      scanf("%d", &a[i]);
      }
large = a [0];
for (int i = 0; i<n; i++) {
if ( large < a [ i ]) {
large = a [ i ];
} }  
printf("The largest element in the array is %d \n", large);
}
