what is array is this a Class
java.sql.Array or reflect.Array

In simple way, loop the array on each element and at the same time maintain two variables to hold largest values.

...in case you think of replacing the simple array with a ArrayList obj you can very well go for the Collections.max(Collection obj) to get the maximum value.

Yes, it's true. But he is looking to do it in a loop.

Something like this may help in that sense, I think.

Code:

    private void findMax(ArrayList arl) {
        int max = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < arl.size(); i++) {
            if(Integer.parseInt((String) arl.get(i)) > max) {
                max = Integer.parseInt((String) arl.get(i));
            }
        }
        
        System.out.println(max);
    }
