Question 83

The identifier found is used in the algorithm shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

1  arr ← ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Date"]
2  found ← false
3  i ← 0
4  target ← "Cherry"
5  WHILE i < 4 AND found = false
6      IF arr[i] = target THEN
7          found ← true
8      ELSE
9          i ← i + 1
10     ENDIF
11 ENDWHILE

Explain why using the identifier found is a better choice of variable name than using the identifier f.
