int i = 0;

int large = 0;

//array declaration

int[] arr = new int[5];

//reading array elements

for (i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)

{

Console.Write("Element[" + (i + 1) + "]: ");

arr[i] = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

}

//assigning first element to the array

large = arr[0];

//loop to compare value of large with other elements

for (i = 1; i < arr.Length; i++)

{

//if large is smaller than other element

//assig that element to the large

if (large < arr[i])

large = arr[i];

// if u want smallest number replace only "<" to ">"

//if (large > arr[i])

// large = arr[i];

}

//finally, we will have largest element, printing here

Console.WriteLine("Largest element in array : " + large);
