One of the simplest algorithms is to find the largest number in a
list of numbers of random order. Finding solution requires looking at
every number in the list. From this follows a simple algorithm, which
can be stated in a high-level description English prose, as:
High-level description:
- If there are no numbers in the set then there is no highest number.
- Assume the first number in the set is the largest number in the set.
- For each remaining number in the set: if this number is larger than
the current largest number, consider this number to be the largest
number in the set. - When there are no numbers left in the set to iterate over, consider
the current largest number to be the largest number of the set.
