Here the rule followed is Step I The smallest number interchanges its position with the first number. In case the first number is smallest then the next number just larger than it interchanges its position with the second number. Step II The largest number interchanges its position with the last number. In case the largest number is first from right end, the second largest number interchanges its position with the second number from right and so on. These steps are repeated alternately till the numbers get arranged in ascending order and that will be the last step for the particular input. Since it is a case of arrangement previous steps cant be determined with certainty
