Problem Statement

Write a C program using recursion to find the maximum element in an array.

Input Format

First line contains n. Second line contains n integers.

Output Format

Print the maximum element.

Constraints

1 <= n <= 100

Sample Input

5
3 1 4 1 5

Sample Output

5

Explanation

Recursively find the maximum element of the sub-array starting from index 1 and compare it with the first element.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>

int findMax(int arr[], int n) {
    // Write your recursive logic here
}

int main() {
    int n;
    if (scanf("%d", &n) == 1) {
        int arr[100];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
        }
        printf("%dn", findMax(arr, n));
    }
    return 0;
}

Intermediate

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
