Find the minimum value in a list

  • Create or access the list.
  • Make a variable to hold the minimum and set it to a potential minimum value.
  • Loop through the list.
  • Check each element to see if it is less than the minimum variable.
  • If the element is less than the minimum variable, update the minimum.
  • After all elements of the list have been checked, display the minimum value.

Pseudocode

nums ← [65, 89, 92, 35, 84, 78, 28, 75] min ← nums [1] FOR EACH score IN nums: { IF(score < min) {
min = score } } DISPLAY (min)

Sum of Even Numbers of a list

# Python

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
even_sum = 0
for score in nums:
   if score % 2 == 0: # Check if the remainder when divided by 2 is 0 (even number)
       even_sum += score # If previous requirement is fulfilled, add to sum
print("Sum of even numbers in the list:", even_sum)

%%js
// Javascript

let nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
let even_sum = 0;

for (let score of nums) {
   if (score % 2 === 0) {
       even_sum += score; // Add score to even_sum if it's even
   }
}

console.log("Sum of even numbers in the list:", even_sum);
