Description: Finding the biggest number in Java can be accomplished by iterating through a collection of numbers, such as an array or a list, and comparing each element to track the maximum value. A simple approach involves initializing a variable to hold the largest number and then iterating through the collection, updating the variable whenever a larger number is encountered. If working with an array, the Arrays.stream() method can be used to easily find the largest number by using max(). In the case of a list, the Collections.max() method can be utilized to directly retrieve the largest value. For primitive types like integers, a basic loop with comparisons will suffice to determine the largest number.
public static void main(String args[]) {
List numbers = Arrays.asList(5, 2, 8, 1);
int max = Collections.max(numbers);
System.out.println("Numbers List :"+numbers);
System.out.println("Biggest number: " + max);
}
}
