Array problem in C Programming.

[KhzQas]

1) Write a C program that declares an integer array with 5 elements.
2) Inside a for() loop ask the user for a number and store it in the first element of the array (numerically the array is indexed from zero).
3) Your loop will iterate 5 times and each time you get a number you will fill up the next spot in the list. After 5 pieces of data have been entered your array will be full.
4) Write a second for() that looks at what is in the list. Find the largest number in the array. Print that number when you find it.

Sample Output

Enter a number: 1234
Enter a number: -444
Enter a number: 900
Enter a number: 3
Enter a number: 2
The largest number in the list is 1234

Enter a number: -100
Enter a number: -3
Enter a number: -4
Enter a number: -2
Enter a number: -44
The largest number in the list is -2

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
 int list[5];
 int i;
 int number;
 
 for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
 {
  printf("Enter a number: ");
  scanf("%d", &number);
 
  list[i] = number;
 
 }
return 0;
}

The above is the programming code that I have written to so far. I can not get to the 4th point for some reason, the one where I have to create another for() loop to find the largest value in the array list. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

@nswathi: Please don't spoonfeed code.

@OP: If you haven't already seen the code above, how would you do it if you were the computer? What steps would you take to determine the largest element?

To why we don't spoonfeed code here? So that people learn why the code works, as opposed to blindly feeding someone else's code into their work. Read the Posting Guidelines and the Coursework Posting Guidelines for more information.
