Instead of using manual algorithms, such as binary search, sequential search can get the max amount like below.
Collections.max(<ListObject>);

Manual Sequential search Example import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class CustomMaxExample {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
List<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
numbers.add(10);
numbers.add(20);
numbers.add(30);
numbers.add(40);
int maxNumber = 0;
for (int index=0;index<numbers.size();index++){
if (numbers.get(index) > maxNumber){
maxNumber = numbers.get(index);
}
}
System.out.println("Maximum is: "+maxNumber);
}
} |
