Barefoot Steve Jobs and British slaves...

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc sometimes walk in barefoot in their comapus (I don't know, how I missed this earlier!). They're able to use/market it to differentiate themselves.

(i.e., you're not supposed to use any comparison operators) Sorted resultant array may not be the source array. How will you do that?
