Chapter3-Q24.cpp

/*3.24 (Find the Largest Number) The process of finding the largest number (i.e., the maximum
of a group of numbers) is used frequently in computer applications. For example, a program that
determines the winner of a sales contest would input the number of units sold by each salesperson.
The salesperson who sold the most units wins the contest. Write a pseudocode program and then a
program that inputs a series of 10 numbers and determines and prints the largest of the numbers.
[Hint: Your program should use three variables as follows]:
counter: A counter to count to 10 (i.e., to keep track of how many numbers have
been input and to determine when all 10 numbers have been processed)
number: The current number input to the program
largest: The largest number found so far
