Answer 2

PYTHON

l=[42, 7, 19, 73, 5, 88, 12, 34, 67, 1, 25, 90, 16, 53, 29]
n=len(l)
for i in range(n-1):
    for j in range(i+1,n):
        if l[j]<l[i]:
            l[i],l[j]=l[j],l[i]
print(l)



C

#include <stdio.h>
void main(){
    int l[15]={42, 7, 19, 73, 5, 88, 12, 34, 67, 1, 25, 90, 16, 53, 29},i,j;
    for (i=0;i<14;i++){
        for (j=i+1;j<15;j++){
            if (l[j]<l[i]){
                l[i]=l[i]+l[j];
                l[j]=l[i]-l[j];
                l[i]=l[i]-l[j];
            }
        }
    }
    printf("{");
    for (i=0;i<15;i++){
        printf(" %d ,",l[i]);
    }
    printf("}");
}
