Method 1: Using Loop (Manual method)
def find_largest(nums):
    largest = nums[0]
    for n in nums:
        if n andgt; largest:
            largest = n
    return largest
print(find_largest([10, 45, 2, 67, 89, 23]))
Output: 89
Explanation:
Start with the first element as the largest.Compare with each element and update if bigger.The max is 15.
Method 2: Using max() (Simplest way)
numbers = [10, 45, 2, 67, 89, 23]
largest = max(numbers)
print("Largest number is:", largest)
Output:
Largest number is: 89
Method 3: Using Sorting
numbers = [10, 45, 2, 67, 89, 23]
largest = sorted(numbers)[-1]
print("Largest number is:", largest)
