Suppose that you are given a list of four integers (8, 7, 2, 3). Assume that the allowable operation is “swapping two adjacent numbers” if the first number is greater than the second number. For example, two numbers x and y in the list ( …, x, y, …) can be swapped if x is greater than y. You are asked to sort the list in ascending order. Draw the entire state space (i.e., the search tree) for sorting the list of the four numbers. Note that if you have found the sorted list, you still need to continue to find all possible paths to the sorted list. When the entire state space has been searched, you can stop the search method.

Question

Suppose that you are given a list of four integers (8, 7, 2, 3).
Assume that the allowable operation is “swapping two adjacent numbers” if the first number is greater
than the second number. For example, two numbers x and y in the list ( …, x, y, …) can be swapped if x is
greater than y.


You are asked to sort the list in ascending order. Draw the entire state space (i.e., the search tree) for
sorting the list of the four numbers. Note that if you have found the sorted list, you still need to
continue to find all possible paths to the sorted list. When the entire state space has been searched,
you can stop the search method.
