Question

#include <stdio.h>
#define N 10
int find_largest(int *, int );
int main(void) {
int a[] = {1,2,23,4,5,2,14,6,8,10};
printf("%d\n", find_largest (a, N));
 }

 int find_largest(int *a, int n) {
 int i, max;
 max = a[0];
 for (i = 1; i < n; i++)
 if (a[i] > max)
 max = a[i];
 return max;
 }

How can I edit the function call so that the program prints the maximum number of the second half of the array, so among these elements: {2, 14, 6, 8, 10}?
As I said, I should edit only this line:

printf("%d\n", find_largest (a, N));

Thank you 🙂

Answer 1

You can change that line as:

printf("%d\n", find_largest (a+N/2, (N+1)/2));

The (N+1)/2 can handle the exception when N is an odd number.
