0/6

A marine biology database tracks the dive depths of several tagged emperor penguins to find the deepest diver.

Write an algorithm to:

  • prompt the user to enter a penguin's tracking ID and its maximum dive depth (in meters), or to enter "STOP" to stop entering new data
  • repeatedly take penguin IDs and dive depths as input until the user enters "STOP"
  • determine which penguin achieved the deepest dive (highest depth value)
  • output the tracking ID and the dive depth of that deepest penguin in an informative message.

You must use either:

  • OCR Exam Reference Language, or
  • A high-level programming language that you have studied
