find max value with for loop

B=[ 6 7 8 9 10 ]

C=[8]

I want to have a for loop to compare each of the elements in B with the latest maximum number from the for loop to get the final maximum number in B.

What have you done? Is this homework? If not, why not just:

C=max(B);

Hi,

You could use the following code snippet if you want to use for loops specifically to find max.

max = B(1);
for i = 2:numel(B)
    if B(i) > max
        max = B(i)
    end
end

If you want to change something you could use this for loop but if your use case is to find max then I suggest using max function. Below is the link for max function.
