Piece of cake! 
Observe carefully:


/*  Totally necessary precompile directives */
#define ___o  int
#define __o_  main
#define __oo  array
#define _o__  srand
#define _o_o  rand()%
#define _oo_  10
#define _ooo  100
#define o___  maximum
#define o__o  max_value
#define o_o_  return
#define o_oo  0
#define oo_o  max_val
#define oooo  for
#define o____ index
#define o___o if

/* implementation */

___o o__o(___o* __oo);___o __o_();
___o __o_(){___o __oo[_oo_];_o__(_ooo);
oooo(___o o____=o_oo;o____<_oo_;o____++)
__oo[o____]=_o_o _ooo;___o o___=o__o(__oo);o_o_ o_oo;}
___o o__o(___o* __oo){___o oo_o=o_oo;
oooo(___o o____=o_oo;o____<_oo_;o____++)
o___o(__oo[o____]>oo_o)
oo_o=__oo[o____];o_o_ oo_o;}

/* end */



There are a couple of includes left out, since I didn't want to do
EVERY-thing for you, plus it reduced the redability of this code a 
little.

Hey, don't mention it.
