An algorithm is designed to analyze atmospheric pressure readings in hectopascals (hPa) relative to a standard baseline pressure.
threshold ← 1013.25
readings ← [1008.2, 1011.5, 1014.1, 1012.9]
is_anomaly ← False
sum_dev ← 0.0
FOR EACH p IN readings
deviation ← p - threshold
sum_dev ← sum_dev + deviation
IF deviation > 5.0 OR deviation < -5.0 THEN
is_anomaly ← True
ENDIF
ENDFOR
mean_deviation ← sum_dev / 4
Select the most appropriate data type for the variable mean_deviation used in this algorithm.
