Q

Finding minimum

A

SET Minimum to testscore [0]
FOR counter FROM 1 TO length [testscore]
IF testscore [counter]

A
Ask the user to input a value 
REPEAT
RECEIVE value FROM (INTEGER) KEYBOARD

Q

Once implemented, standard algorithms may be saved as

A

Modules

A collection of prewritten modules is called a library

FOR counter FROM 1 TO length [testscore]
IF testscore[counter] > Maximum THEN
SET Maximum TO testscore[counter]
END IF

SEND arrayname[counter] to display
End IF
End FOR
