Sort the vector of numbers in order low-high-low. Even numbers appear in ascending order on the left and odd numbers appear in descending order on the right.

Example:

the output is:

 y = [ 2 4 5 3 1 ]

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?

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.
