import java.util.Scanner;

public class LargestElementArray {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  int i, n;
  System.out.print("How many numbers ?\t");
  Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
  n = scan.nextInt();
  int array[] = new int[n];
  for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
   System.out.print("\nEnter number " + (i + 1));
   array[i] = scan.nextInt();
  }
  scan.close();
  for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
   if (array[0] < array[i])
    array[0] = array[i];
  }
  System.out.print("\nThe largest among the" + n + " numbers is "
