Explanation / Answer

// Highlighted is the method you asked for

class Main
{

public static void main (String []args)
{
int A[] = {2,5,7,-4,6,3};
  
System.out.println(FindMax(A,5,A[0])); //n is the index of the last element in the array
  
  
}

public static int FindMax(int A[], int n, int max)
//n is the index of the last element in the array
{
// when all numbers are done, returning max
if(n == 0)
return max;
  
// checking if the n'th number is greater
if(max < A[n-1])
{
// updating maximum value
max = A[n-1];
}
  
// calling recursively with 1 less
return FindMax(A,n-1,max);
}

}

// Output: 7
