Put the first item in the data set into an empty memory location called, say, 'biggest'.

Now compare the second and subsequent items in the data set with 'biggest'. If the item is larger than 'biggest' then put the value of the item in 'biggest', otherwise do nothing.

By the time you have finished looking through the data set you will find that 'biggest' contains the greatest value in the data set.

Can the mean be greater than the greatest value in the data set?

No, the mean cannot be greater than the greatest value in a data set. The mean is calculated by summing all the values and dividing by the number of values, which means it will always fall within the range of the data set. Therefore, the mean will always be less than or equal to the maximum value.
