Golang : Find biggest/largest number in array
Just a quick tutorial on how to find the biggest value in a given array. Nothing fancy, just a simple for loop to find the next biggest value in the array and replace the final value ( which is the variable max ) with the biggest value is can find.
Here's the code
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
arr := []uint{
28, 33, 16,
7, 5, 88,
}
max := arr[0] // assume first value is the smallest
for _, value := range arr {
if value > max {
max = value // found another smaller value, replace previous value in max
}
}
fmt.Println("The biggest/largest value is : ", max)
}
Output :
The biggest/largest value is : 88
Hope this simple tutorial can be useful to you. Cheers!
