Counting the number of steps taken by the sorting algorithm

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I have a code that sorts the elements by their values as an Assignment, but I also need to specify the number of steps that were taken by the code.I searched everywhere and couldn't find any answers Could somebody help me? Here is the code:
X = [9 2 5 7 3 8 1 4 6 0 -2 -7];
n = length(X);
for i=1:n-1
A=X(i);
for j=i+1:n;
if X(j)>A;
A=X(j);
X(j)=X(i);
X(i)=A;
end
end
end
X
Thank you in advance:)

X = [9 2 5 7 3 8 1 4 6 0 -2 -7];
n = length(X);
numSteps=0;
for i=1:n-1
A=X(i);
for j=i+1:n;
if X(j)>A;
A=X(j);
X(j)=X(i);
X(i)=A;
numSteps=numSteps+1;
end
end
end
X
numSteps
