Question

Write a C++ program that selects and displays the maximum value of five numbers to be entered when the program is executed.
(Hint: Use a for loop with both a cin and if statement inside the loop)

Answer 1

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int number;
int maxNumber = -1;

cout << "Enter 5 numbers: ";
for (int n = 0; n < 5; n++)
{
cin >> number; //read next number
if (number > maxNumber) //check if it's bigger than maxNumber
maxNumber = number;
}

/* Print the maximum value */
cout << endl;
cout << "The largest number is: " << maxNumber << endl;
return 0;
}
