An automated agricultural drone surveys a 5x5 grid of a vineyard to locate diseased grapevines. The algorithm shown in Figure 1 searches the grid to locate the coordinates of a grapevine flagged as "Diseased".

Figure 1

targetX = -1
targetY = -1
for x from 0 to 4
    for y from 0 to 4
        if checkCrop(x, y) == "Diseased" then
            targetX = x
            targetY = y
        endif
    endfor
endfor
