Arrays in C

Hey everyone Smile I'm trying to learn to write a program that prints the highest number on an array list. Here's what I've done so far:
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

 int maxNumbers(int[], int);

main() {
    /* Load an integer array with values */
   int numbers[20] = {10, 34, 23, 54, 23, 12, 56, 76, 34, 21, 25, 46, 67, 69, 53, 28, 84, 90, 92, 12};

   printf("The maximum number in the list is %d.\n", maxNumbers(numbers, 20));
   /* Pause to see output */
   system("pause");
}
//THIS IS WHERE I'M HAVING PROBLEMS:
 int maxNumbers(int list[], int count) {
   int max = 0, x;

   for(


Does anyone know how to do this? I'm strugling with this - we have to know the basics like this in order to do an assignment later in the term! If anyone knows anything, I would greatly appreciate your help Smile

Code:

int maxNumbers(int list[], int count) {
  int max=0;
  int x;
  for (x=0; x<count; x++){
     if(list[x] > max)
       max = list[x];
  }
  return max;
}

Inconsistent variable usage. Should be:

max = list[x];

Oops, forgot to correct that, thank you.

Travler has given you a decent solution but if you can work with C++ then you could use STL.

Code:

#include<vector>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
     vector<int> a = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 1, 3}
     return *max_element(a.begin(), a.end());
}
