Example: C Program to Find Largest Number Using Dynamic Memory Allocation

// C Program to Find Largest Number Using Dynamic Memory Allocation
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

// It's the main function of the program
int main() {
    int count;
    double *data_container;

    // Step-1 Take input from the user
    printf("Enter the element counts: ");
    scanf("%d", &count);

    // Step-2 Allocate the memory to Nth elements
    data_container = (double *)calloc(count, sizeof(double));
    if (data_container == NULL) {
        printf("Memory allocation failed!");
        exit(0);
    }

    // Step-3 Take input of Nth elements by the user and store into 'data_container'
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        printf("INPUT-[%d]: ", i + 1);
        scanf("%lf", data_container + i);
    }

    // Step-4 Find the largest number from 'data_container'
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        if (*data_container < *(data_container + i)) {
            *data_container = *(data_container + i);
        }
    }

    // Step-5 Print the largest number output of the program
    printf("Largest Number: %.2lf\n", *data_container);

    // Step-6 Release 'data_container' from Allocated Memory
    free(data_container);
