Question

I need manual help in tracing at the end of the first iteration of the while loop of line 4 the integer at index 11 of A. (The Answer for reference is 10) but  I can't seem to figure out how the program runs without using a compiler so I need handwritten explanation

Consider the following pseudocode ALGO which takes as input an array A
containing n integers.
Assume that array indexing begins at 0.
ALGO (A)
1: x = A[0]
2: p = -1
3: r = n
4: while (True) {
do {
5:

15:}
p = p + 1
} while (A[p] < x)
do {
r =
r - 1
} while (A[r] > x)
if (p >= r ){
return r
}
exchange A[p] and A[r]
