BJP3 Self-Check 7.10: max

Language/Type: Java arrays
Author: Whitaker Brand (on 2013/04/01)

Write a method called max that accepts an array of integers as a parameter and returns the maximum value in the array. For example, if the array passed stores {12, 7, -1, 25, 3, 9}, your method should return 25. You may assume that the array contains at least one element. Your method should not modify the elements of the array.
