// declare a list of ints

// add some values to our list
ints.Add(13);

// initialize it to zero to make sure it has a low starting value

// loop through each integer in our list
foreach (int i in ints)
{
	// if the current value (i) is greater than the current value of intHighest
	// change the value of intHighest to the value of i
	if (i > intHighest)
	{
