I don't understand if the smallest element should be the last or the first of the sorted array

Hi Franek:

Thanks for creating a problem! It's a little ambiguous right now (see @andrea84's comment above). There is more than one answer as currently defined. Could you please clarify it?

Franek on 4 Jun 2013

Sorry for that, if you have input odd vector the smallest element is on the end, but if u input even vector the smallest element is on the first position.
