Scala Program: Find the maximum element in a set

Last update on December 21 2024 10:24:54 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Scala program to create a set and find the maximum element in the set.

Sample Solution:

Scala Code:

object MaxElementSetExample {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    // Create a set
    val nums = Set(10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

    // Print the set
    println("Set: " + nums)

    // Find the maximum element in the set
    val maxElement = nums.max

    // Print the maximum element
    println("Maximum element: " + maxElement)
  }
}

Sample Output:

Set: HashSet(10, 20, 50, 40, 30)
Maximum element: 50

Explanation:

In the above exercise,

• We create a set "nums" 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.
• To find the maximum element in the set, we use the max method, which returns the maximum element in the set.
• In the program, we find the maximum element in the set by using the line val maxElement = set.max.
• Finally, we print the set and the maximum element.
