To sort these numbers in ascending order, you can follow a few simple steps:
1. Compare the first two numbers, 5 and 10. Since 5 is smaller than 10, they are already in the correct order.
- Numbers: 5, 10, 16, 19, 24, 37, 40
2. Move to the next pair, 10 and 16. Again, they are already in ascending order.
- Numbers: 5, 10, 16, 19, 24, 37, 40
3. Next, compare 16 and 19. They are also in the correct order.
- Numbers: 5, 10, 16, 19, 24, 37, 40
4. Now, check 19 and 24. They are still in the correct order.
- Numbers: 5, 10, 16, 19, 24, 37, 40
5. Move on to 24 and 37. They need to be swapped since 24 comes before 37.
- Numbers: 5, 10, 16, 19, 37, 24, 40
6. Finally, compare 37 and 40. They are already in the correct order.
- Numbers: 5, 10, 16, 19, 37, 24, 40
To further sort the list, repeat the steps until no more swaps are needed.
Now, comparing the next pair (37 and 24), we can see that 37 is larger than 24, so we swap them.
- Numbers: 5, 10, 16, 19, 24, 37, 40
Keep repeating the process until the list is fully sorted. After the next few iterations, you will have:
- Numbers: 5, 10, 16, 19, 24, 37, 40
Since no more swaps are needed, the list is now sorted in ascending order based on the given sort rule.
