1. Suppose that a disk drive has 5,000 cylinders, numbered 0 to 4,999. The
drive is currently serving a request at cylinder 2,150, and the previous
request was at cylinder 1,805. The queue of pending requests, in FIFO
order, is:

2,069; 1,212; 2,296; 2,800; 544; 1,618; 356; 1,523; 4,965; 3,681

Starting from the current head position, what is the total distance
(in cylinders) that the disk arm moves to satisfy all the pending requests
for each of the following disk-scheduling algorithms?

a. FCFS
b. SSTF
c. SCAN
d. C-SCAN

*** Note *** Do not code for the above algorithms instead

**** Try to solve manually and then upload it****
