C++ Programming - for loop

Course Textbook Chapter Problem
Software Design C++: How to Program (5th) by Deitel, Deitel, Deitel N/A N/A
Question Details:
Create a program to determine the largest number out of 15 numbers entered (numbers entered one at a time). This should be done in a function using this prototype:

    double larger (double x, double y);

Make sure you use a for loop expression inside your function.

    Enter 15 numbers
    11 67 99 2 2 6 8 9 25 67 7 55 27 1 1
    The largest number is 99

Hints:
  • Read the first number of the data set. Because this is the only number read to this point, you may assume that it is the largest number so far and call it max.
  • Read the second number and call it num. Now compare max and num, and store the larger number into max.Now max contains the larger of the first two numbers.
  • Read the third number. Compare it with max and store the larger number into max.
  • At this point, max contains the largest of the first three numbers. Read the next number, compare it with max,and store the larger into max
