## How to run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Edit the last `DATA` statement from the `MAXPROFIT.BAS` file to specify the sequence. Update the loop counter on line
|
||
|
|
20 to the number of elements in that sequence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Running the code requires a BASIC intepreter such as [Bywater BASIC](https://github.com/nerun/bwbasic/) (bwBASIC). For
|
||
|
|
example, on Ubuntu, Debian, or Pop! OS systems, it can be installed from `apt install bwbasic`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
bwbasic MAXPROFIT.BAS
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Exit the interactive environment by typing Ctrl-D.
