(pseudo-code)

var element = input

if element = or < than 0;

assign 0 to element;

else subtract 1 from element;

repeat

This problem will be seen in many introductory programming classes. The task assigned is to create a program that constantly subtracts 1 from a variable until the variable reaches 0, which then causes the variable to stay at 0. If said variable started out negative or 0, it will also stay at 0.
