Jun 23, 2021

Hello Friends,

Now let's see example of how to get largest element of array in python. I would like to share with you find the largest element in that given array using python. We will show python get highest element in array.

In this article, I will give simple and easy way to get max element of array using python.

Here i will give you two example for how to get max element of array in python. So let's see the below example:

Example 1

#Initialize array     
arr = [88, 15, 70, 30, 85]

     
#Initialize max with first element of array.    
max = arr[0]

     
#Loop through the array    
for i in range(0, len(arr)):    
    #Compare elements of array with max    
   if(arr[i] > max):    
       max = arr[i]

           
print("Largest element is: " + str(max))

Output

Largest element is: 88

Example 2

# Python3 program to find maximum
# in arr[] of size n
# python function to find maximum
# in arr[] of size n
def findLargest(arr,n):
    # Initialize maximum element
    max = arr[0]
    # Traverse array elements from second
    # and compare every element with
    # current max
    for i in range(1, n):
        if arr[i] > max:
            max = arr[i]
    return max
# Array
arr = [20, 55, 900, 566, 8]
n = len(arr)
largeElement = findLargest(arr,n)
print ("Largest element is",largeElement)

Output

Largest element is: 900
