Answer
Changing the original sign from the algorithm to the greater or equal
sign will not change the output of the algorithm. It will still find us the
largest element in the list. The only difference will be that if it so happens
that some values occur more than once and the algorithm encounters the
same value as the stored largest so far it will assign that value to it. But
the values would be the same so it would be just an extra computational
step.
