conventional method to find the gratest number using for loop

Alex Boerescu · Answer

Or use the sort function: 
 
 a!localVariables(
 local!list:{5,4,7,9,2,5,0},
 sort(local!list)[length(local!list)]
)

Amaan Shekh · Answer

Here is an O(n) approach implemented like C, employing a temporary variable to store the current maximum (rule input ). In this implementation, a recursive approach has been utilized. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. 
 if(
 ri!currentIndex > length(ri!arr),
 ri!currentMax,
 rule!maxNum(
 arr: ri!arr,
 currentMax: if(
 ri!currentMax > ri!arr[ri!currentIndex],
 ri!currentMax,
 ri!arr[ri!currentIndex]
 ),
 currentIndex: ri!currentIndex + 1
 )
 )

/*arr: array in which we needs to find max num*/
/*currentMax: first element of array*/
/*current index: first index of array (1 in case of appian)*/ 
 
 result->
