Question

Write a program that takes a list of integers as a parameter and returns the max element in the list without using the built-in ‘max()’ function.

Answer 1

def maxElement(list1):
    max=list1[0]
    for i in range(len(list1)):
        if list1[i]>max:
            max=list1[i]
    return max
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    l=[23,45,67,78]
    maximum=maxElement(l)
    print("The maximum element is ",maximum)
