Question
What will be the fourth step for the following
input? Input: 76 172 372 43 243 361 165 A word arrangement machine,when given a particular input, rearranges it following a particularrule. The following is the illustration of the input and the steps of arrangement: Input: 87, 321, 293, 47, 176, 409, 215 Step I: 47, 321, 293, 87, 176, 409, 215 Step II: 47, 321, 293, 87, 176, 215, 409 Step III: 47, 87, 293, 321, 176, 215, 409 Step IV: 47, 87, 293, 215, 176, 321, 409 Step V: 47, 87, 176, 215, 293, 321, 409Solution
Here the rule followed is: numbers are getting arranged in ascending order. The smallest no. interchanges with the first position. Then the largest no. interchanges with the last position. Next, the second smallest no. interchanges with the second position. And so on.
