C Exercises: Find the largest element using Dynamic Memory Allocation
C Pointer : Exercise-9 with Solution
Write a program in C to find the largest element using Dynamic Memory Allocation.
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int i,n;
float *element;
printf("\n\n Pointer : Find the largest element using Dynamic Memory Allocation :\n");
printf("-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n");
printf(" Input total number of elements(1 to 100): ");
scanf("%d",&n);
element=(float*)calloc(n,sizeof(float)); // Memory is allocated for 'n' elements
if(element==NULL)
{
printf(" No memory is allocated.");
exit(0);
}
printf("\n");
for(i=0;i<n;++i)
{
printf(" Number %d: ",i+1);
scanf("%f",element+i);
}
for(i=1;i<n;++i)
{
if(*element<*(element+i))
*element=*(element+i);
}
printf(" The Largest element is : %.2f \n\n",*element);
return 0;
}
Sample Output:
Pointer : Find the largest element using Dynamic Memory Allocation : ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Input total number of elements(1 to 100): 5 Number 1: 5 Number 2: 7 Number 3: 2 Number 4: 9 Number 5: 8 The Largest element is : 9.00
