@tianyizheng02 What is your opinion of merging the recursive and iterative implementations into one file?

Could also add benchmarks to compare the difference in time complexity between the implementations

I support these kinds of file merges. Like you said, it helps with benchmarking, but it also just makes it much easier to compare different implementations in general

Also helps with resolving #8098, of course

Now that this file also contains the recursive implementation, we should probably rename the existing find_max to find_max_iterative to contrast it with the recursive one.
