Sort the given list of numbers in ascending order. Demonstrate the first pass/sweep sort algorithm. 43 18 9 76 89 1

Sure, let's use the Bubble Sort algorithm for this task. Bubble Sort is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. The pass through the list is repeated until the list is sorted.

Here is the first pass of the Bubble Sort algorithm on your list:

Original List: 43 18 9 76 89 1

Step 1: Compare the first two elements. Swap 43 and 18 because 43 > 18. List after Step 1: 18 43 9 76 89 1

Step 2: Compare the next two elements. Swap 43 and 9 because 43 > 9. List after Step 2: 18 9 43 76 89 1

Step 3: Compare the next two elements. No swap needed because 43 < 76. List after Step 3: 18 9 43 76 89 1

Step 4: Compare the next two elements. No swap needed because 76 < 89. List after Step 4: 18 9 43 76 89 1

Step 5: Compare the next two elements. Swap 89 and 1 because 89 > 1. List after Step 5: 18 9 43 76 1 89

So, after the first pass, the largest number 89 has moved to the correct position at the end of the list. We would continue this process for the remaining elements until the entire list is sorted in ascending order.
