An algorithm will be used to calculate the difference between the smallest and largest values in a list. For the list of [10, 3, 5, 6], it should calculate a difference of 7. There are two proposals for the algorithm:
Algorithm 1: Set minVal to the first value in the list and maxVal to the last value in the list. Iterate through each number in the list. If the number is greater than maxVal, store it in maxVal. If the number is less than minVal, store it in minVal. After loop, set maxDiff to the difference between maxVal and minVal.
Algorithm 2: Set minVal to 1000 and maxVal to 0. Iterate through each number in the list. If the number is greater than maxVal, store it in maxVal. If the number is less than minVal, store it in minVal. After loop, set maxDiff to the difference between maxVal and minVal.
Which of these statements are true about these algorithms?
I. Algorithm 1 does not work on lists where the smallest value is at the start of the list or the largest value is at the end of the list.
II. Algorithm 2 does not work on lists that contain all negative numbers or all numbers over 1000.
A. I only
B. II only
C. I and II
D. Neither I nor II
Include a justification for your choice.

Draw the hierarchy chart and design the logic for a program that calculates service charges for hazel's housecleaning service. the program contains housekeeping, detail loop, and end-of-job modules. the main program declares any needed global variables and constants and calls the other modules. the housekeeping module displays a prompt for and accepts a customer's last name. while the user does not enter for the name, the detail loop accepts the number of bathrooms and the number of other rooms to be cleaned. the service charge is computed as $40 plus $15 for each bathroom and $10 for each of the other rooms. the detail loop also displays the service charge and then prompts the user for the next customer's name. the end-of-job module, which executes after the user enters the sentinel value for the name, displays a message that indicates the program is complete.
