Question 4

Arthur wants to track the daily active user count for his mobile app over a 30-day trial period.

The pseudocode of an algorithm he has written is shown:

10 d = 0 WHILE d < 30 SET d TO d + 1 RECEIVE u FROM KEYBOARD OUTPUT d, u ENDWHILE

In some programming languages, if a program is written like this on a single line, it could be translated and executed.

Discuss the suitability of this code for humans and how it could be improved.
