Given an array containing 7 names called NAMES, the following algorithm outputs the first name found starting with “M”. It uses a utility function called firstLetter to return the first letter of a string - for example, firstLetter(“Kate”) will return the letter “K”.
[1]N = 7
FIRST = “”
FOUND = false
i = 0
loop while i < N
VALUE = NAMES[i]
if firstLetter(VALUE) = "M" AND FOUND = false then
FIRST = VALUE
FOUND = true
end if
i = i + 1
end loop
output FIRST
While the above algorithm functions as intended, suggest a suitable pseudocode modification to improve efficiency.
