#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int i,n;
    printf("How many numbers ?\t");
    scanf("%d",&n);
    int array[n];
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        printf("\nEnter number %d: \t",i+1);
        scanf("%d",&array[i]);
    }
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        if(array[0]<array[i])
            array[0]=array[i];
    }
    printf("The largest among the %d numbers is %d",n,array[0]);
    return 0;
}
 

OUTPUT :
