Ascending Order

Ascending order is a way of arranging a set of numbers from the smallest to the largest. It is the opposite of descending order, which arranges numbers from the largest to the smallest.

How to Arrange Numbers in Ascending Order

To arrange numbers in ascending order, follow these steps:

1. Compare the numbers in the set and identify the smallest number.
2. Place the smallest number at the beginning of the list.
3. Repeat the process with the remaining numbers, identifying the next smallest number and placing it after the first number.
4. Continue this process until all numbers are arranged in ascending order.

Example

Let's consider the set of numbers: 7, 3, 10, 5, 2.

First, we identify the smallest number, which is 2. We place 2 at the beginning of the list.

Next, we identify the next smallest number, which is 3. We place 3 after 2.

We continue this process until all numbers are arranged in ascending order: 2, 3, 5, 7, 10.
