Given Input:

  int[] arr = {45, 12, 89, 34, 67};

Expected Output:

Largest element: 89
Position (index): 2

Program:

class LargestElementPosition {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] arr = {45, 12, 89, 34, 67};

        int max = arr[0];
        int position = 0;

        for (int i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
            if (arr[i] > max) {
                max = arr[i];
                position = i;
            }
        }

        System.out.println("Largest element: " + max);
        System.out.println("Position (index): " + position);
    }
}

Output:
