Let n be an even positive integer. Our goal is to determine the range of a list of n real numbers, where the range is defined to be the difference between the largest number in the list and the smallest number in the list. The following algorithm solves this problem.

Let n be an even positive integer. Our goal is to determine the range of a list of n real numbers, where the range is defined to be the difference between the largest number in the list and the smallest number in the list. The following algorithm solves this problem Range(a1, a2,.. . , am: a list of n real numbers, where n is even and positive) 1.if a1 > a2 then 2. 5.else 4. 5, for i 1 to n/2-1 6. 7. 8. 9. if a2i+i > a2i+2 thein ifa2i+1 > M then M :=a2i if a22 M then M := a2i+2 if a2i+1 a2 then 2. 5.else 4. 5, for i 1 to n/2-1 6. 7. 8. 9. if a2i+i > a2i+2 thein ifa2i+1 > M then M :=a2i if a22 M then M := a2i+2 if a2i+1
