I'm writing a problem with while loop to receive 10 numbers from user input and find Largest value. It's very simple without any high technique.
I've written following code but cannot output correct number.
please help me!

CODE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{

int num=0;
int largest=0;
int seclargest=0;
int counter=0;
int abc=3;


while ( counter <= 3 ) // Begin 1st while loop
{

printf("Enter a number=");
scanf("%d",&num);
printf("\n");


     if ( num > largest ) // Begin loop to determine the largest of 10 numbers entered by user from the keyboard
    largest = num;

   counter++;
}
printf("largest number is %d\n",&largest);
printf("largest number is %d",&seclargest);
printf("%d",&abc);
printf("\n");
return 0;

return 0;
}

Remove the ampersand "&" symbol from your printf statements. You only use the ampersand in a scanf statement.
CODE

printf("largest number is %d\n",largest);
printf("largest number is %d", seclargest);
printf("%d",abc);

CODE


#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int num[10];
    int i=0;
    int largest;
        
    while(i<10)
    {
        printf("Enter number[%d]:",i+1);
        scanf("%d",&num[i]);
        i++;
        printf("\n");
    }
    
    largest=num[0];
    i=0;
    while(i<10)
    {
        if(num[i]>largest)
        {
    largest=num[i];
            
        }
        i++;
    }

    printf("\nLargest number is : %d\n",largest);

    return 0;

}


Consider this code implemented using only while loops...so many variables are not required...implement array structure possible...again u have used 2 return 0; statements...I am working on another implementation of this problem without using array...

CODE


#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int i=0;
    int largestNum,tempNum;
    printf("Enter number[%d]:",++i);
    scanf("%d",&tempNum);
    largestNum=tempNum;

    while(i<10)
    {
        printf("Enter number[%d]:",i+1);
        scanf("%d",&tempNum);
        if(tempNum>largestNum)
            largestNum=tempNum;
        i++;
    }
    
    printf("\nLargest number is : %d\n",largestNum);

    return 0;

}


This is the second edition of the program without using array...only while loop...got it??
