The following function computes the maximum value contained in an integer array p[] of size n (n>= 1).
int max (int *p, int n)  {
             int a = 0, b = n – 1;
             while(__________) {
  if(p[a] <= p[b])  { a = a+1;  }
  else                      { b = b-1;   } 
             }
            return p[a];
       }
The missing loop condition is
