Question:

Consider the byte-sorting program of Figure 3.50b. During each pass through a sublist, LIST(j) through LIST(0), list entries are swapped whenever LIST(k) > LIST(j). An alternative strategy is to keep track of the address of the largest value in the sublist, and to perform, at most, one swap at the end of the sublist search. Rewrite the program using this approach. What is the advantage of this approach?
