Scala - Find Largest Element of a Vector

Here, we will create an object of Vector collection. Then we will get the largest element of the vector using the max() method and print the result on the console screen.

The Vector is an immutable data structure. We can access vector elements randomly. It extends an abstract class AbstractSeq and IndexedSeq trait. We use the Vector collection to store the large number of elements.

Scala code to print the largest element of the vector using max() method

The source code to print the largest element of the vector using the max() method is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to print the largest element of vector 
// using max() method

import scala.collection.immutable._

object Sample {
  // Main method
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    var vector = Vector(50, 20, 40, 30, 70);

    println("largest element: " + vector.max);
  }
}

Output

largest element: 70

Explanation

Here, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. And, we imported Collection classes using the below statement,

import scala.collection.immutable._

And, we also created a singleton object Sample and defined the main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the main() function, we created a vector vector using Vector collection. Then we got the largest element of the created vector using the max() method and printed the result on the console screen.
