Write a Java method that returns the largest value of an array of doubles?

[RCS]

Write a Java method that returns the largest value of an array of doubles passed to the method as an argument.
Back into java wasn't sure how to do it for doubles did one in the main for integers and then added a method changed from int to double and now i'm lost as go why its not working.



package kickstarter9;

public class Kickstarter9 {
public static void main(String[] args){
double myList;
double[] myList = {6.0, 4.1, 2.4, 6.8, 1.9, 9.4, 2.8, 4.6, 9.3};
// find the largest value in the list

// assume the largest value is the first value
public static double myList(){
double largest = myList[0];

for (int c = 1; c < myList.length; c++){
{
largest = myList[c];
}
}
}
System.out.println("Largest value: " + largest);
}
}

All you are doing is reassigning values to "largest." You need some condition test. And please wrap your code in [code][/code] tags.

Does that code compile? If not, post the compiler's messages if you don't understand them.
