Question

Write an algorithm (in pseudocode, with proper indentation for blocks of code in loops or conditional statements) that finds and returns the location of the first negative integer in a sequence of integers.

Answer 1

Algorithm:

An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure that gives a solution to the problem.

The algorithm finds and returns the location of the first negative integer in a sequence of integers is given below:

Step 1: Start

Step 2: Declare arr[], sizeArr, loc

Step 3: Input the array and size of the array

Step 4: For i = 0 to sizeArr-1

Step 4.1: If arr[i] < 0

Step 4.1.1: loc = i and return

Step 4.1.2: End If

Step 4.3: End For

Step 5: Display the 'loc'

Step 6: Stop
