what will be the c++ source code of finding the largest value among the N numbers? translate the algorithm:
1. the largest number is:
2. the smallest number is:
3. display all the numbers inputted:
4. show the final output.
int a,b;
cout<<"enter the value of a:";
cin>>a;
cout<<"enter the value of b:";
cin>>b;
if(a>b)
cout<<"largest value is:"<<a<<endl;
else
cout<<"smallest value:"<<b<<endl;
To find the largest value among N numbers, you can use the following C++ source code:
```c++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int N; // number of elements
int largest; // variable to store the largest value
int num; // variable to store each number inputted
// Step 1: Prompt user for the number of elements
cout << "Enter the number of elements: ";
cin >> N;
// Step 2: Initialize largest with the first number inputted
cout << "Enter number 1: ";
cin >> largest;
// Step 3: Iterate over the remaining N-1 elements and find the largest
for (int i = 2; i <= N; i++) {
cout << "Enter number " << i << ": ";
cin >> num;
if (num > largest) {
largest = num;
}
}
// Step 4: Display all the numbers inputted
cout << "The numbers you entered are: ";
for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) {
cout << i << ":" << num << " ";
}
cout << endl;
// Step 5: Show the final output - largest value
cout << "The largest value is: " << largest << endl;
return 0;
}
```
Explanation:
1. First, we prompt the user to enter the number of elements (N) they want to compare.
2. Then, we initialize the `largest` variable with the first number inputted.
3. Next, we iterate over the remaining N-1 elements and compare each one with the `largest` value. If a number is greater than the `largest` value, we update `largest` with that number.
4. After all the numbers are inputted, we display them one by one.
5. Finally, we show the final output, which is the largest value among the N numbers.
You can compile and run this code in a C++ compiler to test it out.
