###   Introduction
A **sequence** in Euphoria contains data which can be of different data types. These values can be checked in search of different results, like to get a match, the index of values, the smallest and even the largest value in the sequence. In this shot, we'll look at a simple function to obtain the largest value.

### What is `largest()`?

The members of a sequence can be searched through in order to get the largest value amongst the set using the **`largest()` method**. This method is inbuilt into the standard library `search` 
 module/package in Euphoria. It requires just a single parameter, which is the array to be searched.

From the image below, we can see how a sequence was queried and the largest value among them returned. It is a simple illustration of how the `largest` method works.



##    


### Syntax 
```
largest(array_value)
``` 
### Parameters
**`array_value`:** This is a set of integer values from which the largest value should be returned.

### Return value
The function will return the largest value from the set.

### Example


include std/stats.e

atom output
sequence  my_seq 
my_seq = {1,2,4,40,8,10,50}

output = largest(my_seq)
printf(1,"this will output empty because it is a text value \n", largest({"This is a text","Another text"}))
printf(1,"This is the largest value from {1,2,4,40,8,10,50}: %d",output)

##  
### Explanation
* Line 1: We import the statistics module `stats.e` from the standard library.
* Line 3–4: We declare some variables, an `output` and a `my_seq`, respectively.
* Line 5: We assign a value to the sequence declared earlier.
* Line 7: We save the outcome of the `largest()` method as the value of the variable `output`.
* Line 8–9: We print some result to the output. 

> **Note:** This function only works on a set of numbers and not a set of any other characters.
