A couple of points here:
1) In general, people on mailing lists are not into doing homework
problems for other people.
2) If you're going to bring us a homework problem, at least describe the
whole problem up front. It really doesn't help to dribble out new
requirements one at a time.
3) rustompmody at gmail.com already posted a pointer to the wikipedia
article describing the required algorithm in detail.
4) I don't know what "no built-in functions should be used" means. I
assume it means, "don't call sort()"? If you can't even call
int.__lt__(), it's going to be really hard to do this.
