Repetition Algorithm Examples

The document presents an algorithm to calculate the total number of passengers picked up by a bus over the course of a day. It prompts the user to input the number of passengers at each stop, adds it to the running total, and repeats until the user enters 999, at which point it prints the final total number of passengers. It also presents an algorithm to calculate the average test score of a class of students by prompting the user to input each student's mark until 999 is entered, tracking the running totals, and then dividing the total score by the number of students.

Problem 3
Start A bus picks up passengers at several stops along its route Wnte
an algorithm to read the number of passengers picked up at each
stop, and add it to the total number of passengers. Calculate
the total number of passengers picked up in one day if the data
is teminated by the user entering a value of 999. Print the total
Set total number of
passengers to 0
