arrays with for loops

// Find-Max variant
// Use very small number, Integer.MIN_VALUE,
// as the initial max value.
public int findMax2(int[] nums) {
  int maxSoFar = Integer.MIN_VALUE;  // about -2 billion

  // Look at every element
  for (int i=0; i<nums.length; i++) {
    if (nums[i] > maxSoFar) {
      maxSoFar = nums[i];
    }
  }
  
  return maxSoFar;
