CSC300 / CSC402: Designing loops from scratch [14/20]

Usually, we design a loop from scratch, rather than adapting a solution for 3 elements

Lets try it for max

Lets work with the following example:

new double { 21, 41, 31, 51, 11 }
                         ^

Suppose our loop has already looked at the first three numbers, and we are considering the fourth

• What do we need to know about the first three numbers?
• What do we need to do with the fourth number to make progress?
