Suppose that you were asked to arrange a group of people in sequence from oldest to youngest. You must organize a line that begins with the oldest person and continues in descending order according to age. Describe an algorithm for completing this task.

What will be an ideal response?


One possible solution is to apply the algorithm from the book for finding the oldest person repeatedly. That is, find the oldest person using the algorithm, and place that person at the front of a line. Then, repeat the process on the remaining people, placing the next oldest second in line, and so on until all people have been placed.
