Obtain maximum value of variable over multiple iterations?

I plan to run my code several times using a loop and want to record the maximum value of the variable 'alt.' How would I go about doing this?
%
yr=2018;
mnth=7;
dy=0:31;
hr=0;
min=0;
sc=0;
d=datetime(yr,mnth,dy,hr,min,sc);
JD_TT=juliandate(d);
CooType='q2000';
[X,Y,Z]=moonpos(JD_TT,CooType);
[lat,lon,alt]=ecef2lla(X,Y,Z);
end

E.g., you could add a variable to your looping for this:
altmax = -inf;
% your loop start
% stuff that calculates alt
altmax = max([alt altmax]);
% your loop end
Or you could store all of the alt values in a vector and then take the max of that vector after the loop.

Initial value of altmax set to minus infinity so that the code for recalculating altmax will work on the first iteration of the loop.
