Question 120

An algorithm for monitoring pressure readings from a chemical reactor is shown below.

1  limit ← 350.0
2  pressure_log ← [310.2, 345.5, 352.1, 348.9, 330.0]
3  isOverpressure ← false
4  k ← 0
5  WHILE k < 5 AND isOverpressure = false
6      IF pressure_log[k] > limit THEN
7          isOverpressure ← true
8      ENDIF
9      k ← k + 1
10 ENDWHILE

Explain why using the identifier isOverpressure is a better choice than using the identifier p.
