A-LevelComputer ScienceAlgorithm Design and Problem SolvingOct/Nov 2025Paper 2 Q49 Marks

A program contains a global 1D array Number consisting of 20 elements of type REAL A procedure Store () will input a sequence of up to 20 real values, one value at a time. These values will be assigned to elements of the array using four steps: Step 1: store the first value in the sequence in the first element of the array Step 2: check each subsequent value input. If this value is larger than the previous value input, then assign the value to the next array element, otherwise go to step 4 Step 3: repeat from step 2 unless the array is full Step 4: output the count of the number of values stored in the array together with a suitable message.
