The Array Unveiled

After all the steps, cycles, and swaps, we finally have a sorted array. Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of an organized list:

SNIPPET
1Sorted Array: [3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 14]

The Count of Operations

One of the perks of cycle sort is its efficiency. For our array, it took just a few operations to reach the sorted state:

SNIPPET
1Operations: 3

Why This Matters

This count represents the number of elements that changed their positions in the sorting process. In our case, these elements were 9, 14, and 3.

Interestingly, the rest of the elements (4, 6, and 8) didn't have to move. They were already in their designated "chairs" or "parking spots," so to speak.

In the real world, less computational effort usually means faster execution times and less resource utilization, which is often a win-win in software engineering.
