Answer 2

Yes. That works. But to reduce it, you can loop from 0 to n.
If you want use input data further you can use an array..
Like:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

int n, nums=0, max =0; //assign 0

cin>>n;

for(int i=0;i<n; i++) {
cin>>nums;

if(nums>max){
max=nums;
}
}
cout<<max<<endl;

return 0;
}

For array, take nums[i] instead of num.
initialize int nums[5];

Hope it helps..

Answer 3

cin>>n; cin>>nums;
what is n, num here? Why you need 2 inputs?

for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {
if(int i=1;i<n;i++){ // this is invalid syntax. What are you trying here... ?

Answer 4

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int n;
cin>>n;
int nums=0;
cin>>nums;

int max = nums;
for(int i=1;i<n;i++) {
cin>>nums;

if(nums>max){
max=nums;
}
}
cout<<max<<endl;

return 0;
}
