Write a program that takes an integer list as input and sorts the list into descending order using selection sort. The program should use nested loops and output the list after each iteration of the outer loop, thus outputting the list N-1 times (where N is the size of the list).
2.15 LAB: Descending selection sort with output during execution
Write a program that takes an integer list as input and sorts the list into descending order using selection sort. The program should use nested loops and output the list after each iteration of the outer loop, thus outputting the list N-1 times (where N is the size of the list).
Important Coding Guidelines:
- Use comments, and whitespaces around operators and assignments.
- Use line breaks and indent your code.
- Use naming conventions for variables, functions, methods, and more. This makes it easier to understand the code.
- Write simple code and do not over complicate the logic. Code exhibits simplicity when it’s well organized, logically minimal, and easily readable.
Ex: If the input is:
20 10 30 40the output is:
[40, 10, 30, 20] [40, 30, 10, 20] [40, 30, 20, 10]Ex: If the input is:
7 8 3the output is:
[8, 7, 3] [8, 7, 3]Note: Use print(numbers) to output the list numbers and achieve the format shown in the example.
numbers = []
user_input = input()
tokens = user_input.split()
for token in tokens:
numbers.append(int(tokens))
#Convert the string input into an array of integers.
for j in range(len(numbers)-1):
# Find index of smallest remaining element
index_largest = j
for j in range(j+1, len(numbers)):
if numbers[j] < numbers[index_largest]:
index_largest = j
# Swap numbers[i] and numbers[index_smallest]
temp = numbers[j]
numbers[j] = numbers[index_largest]
numbers[index_largest] = temp
print(numbers)

hi this helps me wiht the solution but how can I make it indented (image for reference)
Thanks
