Question

Consider the algorithm given below.
    ALGORITHM MinDistance(A[0..n − 1])
    //Input: Array A[0..n − 1] of numbers
    //Output: Minimum distance between two of its elements
        dmin←∞
         for i ←0 to n − 1 do
                for j ←0 to n − 1 do
                         if i != j and |A[i]− A[j ]| < dmin
                                  dmin ←|A[i]− A[j ]|
      return dmin
if  n = 20, and the list is sorted in descending order, then the loop  " or i ←0 to n − 1 do " will be executed ______ times.
