Java > Array-1 > maxTriple (CodingBat Solution)

Problem:

Given an array of ints of odd length, look at the first, last, and middle values in the array and return the largest. The array length will be a least 1.

maxTriple({1, 2, 3}) → 3
maxTriple({1, 5, 3}) → 5
maxTriple({5, 2, 3}) → 5

Solution:

public int maxTriple(int[] nums) {
  int largest = Math.max(nums[0], nums[nums.length / 2]);
  largest = Math.max(largest, nums[nums.length-1]);
  return largest;
}
