int largest = 0;//declare a variable to hold the largest number and set it to 0


for (int i = 0; i<10;i++)
{

if (pancakes[i] > largest)//if the first number in the array is larger than 'largest' make it the largest number
{
largest = pancakes[i]; //so every time a largest number is found in the array that number is sent to the 'largest' variable
}

}


that way the 'largest' variable will contain the largest number in the array once the for loop is done

hope that helps
