    int i, n;
    float arr[100];

    scanf("%d", &n);
    printf("\n");

    // Stores number entered by the user
    for(i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    {
       printf("Enter Number %d: ", i+1);
       scanf("%f", &arr[i]);
    }

    // Loop to store largest number to arr[0]
    for(i = 1; i < n; ++i)
    {
       // Change < to > if you want to find the smallest element
       if(arr[0] < arr[i])
           arr[0] = arr[i];
    }
    printf("Largest element = %.2f \n", arr[0]);
