We mentioned that the LOOK algorithm is like the algorithm followed by elevators in buildings. In what ways is this an appropriate analogy?
What will be an ideal response?
Elevators indeed use this kind of back-and-forth, pendulumlike motion.As in LOOK,
an elevator keeps going in the same direction until it services the furthest floor in that direction
for someone needing to either exit or enter the elevator. As in LOOK, an elevator
doesn’t reverse direction immediately if a button is pressed for a floor it has just passed.
