The identifier is_anomaly is used in the monitoring algorithm shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
1 temps ← [18.2, 19.5, 24.1, 28.3, 17.9]
2 is_anomaly ← false
3 threshold ← 25.0
4 k ← 0
5 WHILE k < 5 AND is_anomaly = false
6 IF temps[k] > threshold THEN
7 is_anomaly ← true
8 ELSE
9 k ← k + 1
10 ENDIF
11 ENDWHILE
Explain why using the identifier is_anomaly is a better choice of variable name than using the single-letter identifier a.
