The algorithm is designed to find the largest of 50 numbers. It initializes a variable SomeNum to 0 and then inputs 50 numbers one by one. If the current input number is greater than SomeNum, it updates SomeNum to this new number. At every step, it also prints the current value of SomeNum, which corresponds to the largest of the numbers seen so far.
