What's the term?

I can't seem to find the term to describe this type of maximum:
You have let's just say 5 numbers: 4, 10, 9, 11, 12
The maximum is 4, 10, 10, 11, 12 (1st, max between 1st and 2nd, max between 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and so on)
What do you call it?
 
I get what he's saying but I don't know if there is a term for it?

You have let's just say 5 numbers: 4, 10, 9, 11, 12

The solution he is referring to is 4, 10, 10, 11, 12

(The max of the 1st term, The max of the 1st and 2nd terms, The max of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd terms, etc)
 
OK, sorry guys.
1st number=4
2nd number=10
3rd=10
4th=11
5th=12
The maximums I'm looking for are the numbers:
1st number, maximum between 1st and 2nd, maximum between 1st, 2nd and 3rd, maximum between 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, maximum between 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th.
From my example:
4,10,10,11,12

You got it icelazer
I'm thinking something like consecutive maximum. What do you think?

Your "explanation" is a word for word copy of what he just said! How is that clarifying anything?

P.S. I get what he is saying too, but I don't know the term.

 
I believe local maximum indicates the highest point in a region of a graph. That doesn't really apply to the set of numbers given.

On the other hand, I don't know what the right term is.

Really helpful, huh?

Fixed.

Dictionary.com says both are acceptable. I've never heard 'maximums' be used though.

Lol. Well, I didn't know it wasn't broken until after I 'fixed' it.
