 Contract: get_max : double[] int -> double
 Purpose: expects an array of amounts and its size, and produces
         the largest amount in that array

 Examples: for:
    const int NUM_READINGS = 4;
    double skunk_readings[NUM_READINGS] = {15, 100, 850, 250};

    get_max(skunk_readings, NUM_READINGS) == 850

	{
