| Meta-Loopless Sorts |
Sorting holds an important place in computer science. Analyzing and implementing various sorting algorithms forms an important part of the education of most computer scientists, and sorting accounts for a significant percentage of the world's computational resources. Sorting algorithms range from the bewilderingly popular Bubble sort, to Quicksort, to parallel sorting algorithms and sorting networks. In this problem you will be writing a program that creates a sorting program (a meta-sorter).
The problem is to create a program whose output is a standard Pascal program that sorts n numbers where n is the only input to the program you will write. The Pascal program generated by your program must have the following properties:
For those unfamiliar with Pascal syntax, the example at the end of this problem completely defines the small subset of Pascal needed.
The input is a single integer n on a line by itself with
.
The output is a compilable standard Pascal program meeting the criteria specified above.

writeln(a,b,c)
else if a < c then
writeln(a,c,b)

if a < c then
writeln(b,a,c)

writeln(b,c,a)

writeln(c,b,a)
