Java
class Maximum
{
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    {
        int[] array = {34, 2, 7, 12};           // Creating an array to store students' marks
        System.out.println(Max(array));         // Passing the array to the Max function
    }
    // Function to find maximum value from array
    public static int Max(int array[])
    {
        int max = 0;                            // Keeping track of max value
        for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)   // Traversing array till the end
        {
             if  (max < array[i])               // If value is greater than max
             {
                max = array[i];                 // Update max      
             }           
        }
        return max;
    }
}
