Question 60

The values in the arrayPower array represent hourly electricity generated (in MWh) by a wind turbine: 17, 9, 17, 13, 8

An algorithm processes these values as shown in the pseudocode below:

1  # Wind Turbine Power Log
2  SET n TO 0
3  SET S TO 0
4  SET A TO 0
5
6  FOR EACH power FROM arrayPower DO
7      SET n TO n + 1
8      SET S TO S + power
9      SEND S TO DISPLAY
10 END FOREACH
11
12 SET A TO S DIV n
13 SEND A TO DISPLAY

Complete the trace table showing the execution of the algorithm with these five values. You may not need to use all of the rows.
