- The following
algorithm correctly determines whether summing a large list of random numbers exceeds 10,000. How might you improve the algorithm to make it more efficient? (Hint: adding the numbers one by one is the same as “add all the numbers together”) (1 point)
Step 1: Initialize sum = 0.
Step 2: Start with the first number as the sum.
Step 3: Add the next element to the sum.
Step 4: Repeat step 3 until all numbers have been added.
Step 5: Compare the sum with 10,000.
