Thread: first attempt at array, need help

I am trying to do a problem out of my book that accepts 10 numbers and prints the biggest number using an array. It will always print 0 because thats what my newmax is initialized to. Any help appreciated.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main ()

{
    const int NUMEL = 10;
    int fmax[NUMEL];
    int i;
    int max, newmax = 0;
    
      cout << "Enter a number " << endl;
        cin >> max;
    
    for ( i = 0; i <= 9; i++)
    {
        cout << "Enter a number " << endl;
        cin >> fmax[i];
        }
        
        if (fmax[i] > max){
                     
        newmax = fmax[i];
        }
        
    cout << "the biggest number is " << newmax << endl;

    
    system ("pause");
    
    return 0;
}

Nevermind guys, I just didnt put the 'if' and newmax inside the foor loop. you can delete this thread

Random nit-picking:

Code:

for ( i = 0; i < NUMEL; i++)

Will work the same way, and let you use the constant you've defined (rather than hardcoding the loop).
