Question

Find the largest number. The process of finding the maximum value (i.e., the largest of a group of values) is used frequently in computer applications. For example, an app that determines the winner of a sales contest would input the number of units sold by each salesperson. The sales person who sells the most units wins the contest. Write pseudocode, then a C# app that inputs a series of 10 integers, then determines and displays the largest integer. Your app should use at least the following three variables:

Counter: Acounter to count to 10 (i.e., to keep track of how many nimbers have been input and to determine when all 10 numbers have been processed).
Number: The integer most recently input by the user.
Largest: The largest number found so far.

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

- Pseudocode to determine the largest of 10 numbers

- C# program to determine the largest of 10 numbers

The pseudocode and program makes use of a 1 dimensional array to accept input for the 10 numbers;

The largest of the 10 numbers is then saved in variable Largest and printed afterwards.

Pseudocode (Number lines are used for indentation to illustrate the program flow)

1. Start:

2. Declare Number as 1 dimensional array of 10 integers

3. Initialize: counter = 0

4. Do:

4.1 Display “Enter Number ”+(counter + 1)

4.2 Accept input for Number[counter]

4.3 While counter < 10

5. Initialize: Largest = Number[0]

6. Loop: i = 0 to 10

6.1 if Largest < Number[i] Then

6.2 Largest = Number[i]

6.3 End Loop:

7. Display “The largest input is “+Largest

8. Stop

C# Program (Console)

Comments are used for explanatory purpose

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

int[] Number = new int[10]; // Declare array of 10 elements

//Accept Input

int counter = 0;

while(counter<10)

{

Console.WriteLine("Enter Number " + (counter + 1)+": ");

string var = Console.ReadLine();

Number[counter] = Convert.ToInt32(var);

counter++;

}

//Initialize largest to first element of the array

int Largest = Number[0];

//Determine Largest

for(int i=0;i<10;i++)

{

if(Largest < Number[i])

{

Largest = Number[i];

}

}

//Print Largest

Console.WriteLine("The largest input is "+ Largest);

Console.ReadLine();

}

}

}
