In C SCAN algorithms, the disk head moves to the outermost and the innermost
cylinders.
C LOOK
The C-LOOK algorithm, the disk head moves to the outermost cylinder which is in the
request queue, then it switches direction and goes to the innermost cylinder which is in
the request queue and then it moves outwards again.
In our example the max range is 100 (0-99), the request queue is 90, 120, 35, 122, 38,
128, 65, 68, 82, 17, 14 (11) and the disk head initial position is 50. Also assume that the
disk head initially moves outwards initially for the sake of simplicity.
