Using for loops to determine the largest number in an array.

I understand that Matlab has inbult functions for finding maximum and minimum, however I am trying to learn how physically learn these skills, for instance how would i go about using for loops that will search for the maximum/largest number while testing if the new value is more than the current value in an array i made called RandomNumber... But i don't know how to go about utilising the for loop in this manner, would someone update me on this using my code thank you.
%% My current understanding of the possible script
RandomNumbers = [3, 9, 27, 81, 7, 9, 10, 33, 2, 55];
LargestNumber [];
for x = 1:10
LargestNumber = ?
end
disp(['The largest number is ',num2str(LargestNumber),])

RandomNumbers = [3, 9, 27, 81, 7, 9, 10, 33, 2, 55];
LargestNumber = RandomNumbers(1);
for i = 2:length(RandomNumbers)
if RandomNumbers(i) > LargestNumber
LargestNumber = RandomNumbers(i) ;
end
end
fprintf('The largest number is %f\n',LargestNumber)
