Explanation / Answer

Psuedocode:

Correction in the function detailLoop()

detailLoop()

numbers[count] = number ...............................//The array index must be count and not SIZE

count = count + 1

output "Enter a number "

input number

return

______________________________________________________

Corrections in sort() function

sort()

num x = 0

num y = 0

num COMPS = count - 1

while y < COMPS

x = y + 1.....................................// In selection-sort the inner loop variable always starts at one value more than the outer-loop variable

while x < COMPS

if numbers[x] < numbers[x + 1] then

swap()

endif

x = x + 1

endwhile

y = y + 1

endwhile

return

_____________________________________________

finish()

sort()

output "The highest three are ", numbers[0], numbers[1], numbers[2].// First three elements of the array

return
