How easy is this program?

-----------------------------------

I'm trying to make one that has the user enter a series of numbers and the program will find the largest number once the user exits. It's kind of hard though. Someone help.  :shock:

Well you get a number see if it is greater than the largest. If it is it becomes the largest. Repeat.

loop
    exit when num = -999
    get num
    n := n + 1
    if n > num then
    
end loop

This is not a hard problem. If you want to keep track of the largest number what do you do? If you want to check if a number is greater than the largest number what do you do?

loop
    get a number
    exit if number = -1000000 (or whatever you want)
    if the number is bigger than the previous number, it is now the largest number
end loop
output the largest number
