Question

There is an algorithm(A) I need manual help in tracing what the value of the integer at index 9 is  when the  ALGO(A) terminates. (The Answer for reference is 12) but  I can't seem to figure out how the program runs without using a compiler so I need a handwritten explanation

Consider the following pseudocode ALGO which takes as input an array A
containing n integers.
Assume that array indexing begins at 0.

r - 1
} while (A[r] > x)
if (p >= r ){
