Find Largest Number using Array in C++

This is a C++ program that finds the largest element in an array of integers.

The program first asks the user to enter the number of elements they want to enter into the array. It then uses a for loop to prompt the user to enter each element one by one and stores them in the num array.
After filling up the array, the program initializes a variable largest to the first element of the array num[0]. It then loops through the remaining elements of the array using another for loop and compares each element with the current value of largest. If the element is greater than largest, the program updates the value of largest to that element.
Finally, the program outputs the value of largest as the largest element in the array.

Source Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  int n,largest;
  int num[50];
  cout<<"\nEnter number of elements you want to enter: ";
  cin>>n;
  for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
  {
    cout<<"\nEnter Element "<<(i+1)<<": ";
    cin>>num[i];
  }
  largest = num[0];
  for(int i=1;i<n;i++)
  {
    if(largest < num[i])
      largest = num[i];
  }
  cout<<"\nLargest element in array is: "<<largest;
  return 0;
}
