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.
