Number reversal game
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Given a jumbled list of the numbers 1 to 9 that are definitely not in ascending order.
Show the list, and then ask the player how many digits from the left to reverse.
Reverse those digits, then ask again, until all the digits end up in ascending order.
The score is the count of the reversals needed to attain the ascending order.
Note: Assume the player's input does not need extra validation.

An example of a number reversal game could be:
void number_reversal_game()
{
printf("Number Reversal Game. Type a number to flip the first n numbers.");
printf("Win by sorting the numbers in ascending order.\n");
printf("Anything besides numbers are ignored.\n");
printf("\t |1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9|\n");
int list[9] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
shuffle_list(list,9);
int tries=0;
unsigned int i;
int input;
while(!check_array(list, 9))
{
((tries<10) ? printf("Round %d : ", tries) : printf("Round %d : ", tries));
for(i=0;i<9;i++)printf("%d ",list[i]);
printf(" Gimme that number:");
while(1)
{
//Just keep asking for proper input
scanf("%d", &input);
if(input>1&&input<10)
break;
printf("\n%d - Please enter a number between 2 and 9:", (int)input);
}
tries++;
do_flip(list, 9, input);
}
printf("Hurray! You solved it in %d moves!\n", tries);
}
Which uses the following helper functions:
void shuffle_list(int *list, int len)
{
//We'll just be swapping 100 times. Could be more/less. Doesn't matter much.
int n=100;
int a=0;
int b=0;

//Random enough for common day use..
srand(time(NULL));
while(n--)
{
//Get random locations and swap
a = rand()%len;
b = rand()%len;
buf = list[a];
list[a] = list[b];
list[b] = buf;
}
// "shuffled to ordered state" fix:
if (check_array(list, len)) shuffle_list (list, len);
}
void do_flip(int *list, int length, int num)
{
//Flip a part on an array
int swap;
int i=0;
for(i;i<--num;i++)
{
swap=list[i];
list[i]=list[num];
list[num]=swap;

C++
Version 1 (crude)
The C code can be used with C++, although the following uses proper C++ iostreams:
void number_reversal_game()
{
cout << "Number Reversal Game. Type a number to flip the first n numbers.";
cout << "You win by sorting the numbers in ascending order.";
cout << "Anything besides numbers are ignored.\n";
cout << "\t |1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9|\n";
int list[9] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
do
{
shuffle_list(list,9);
} while(check_array(list, 9));
int tries=0;
unsigned int i;
int input;
while(!check_array(list, 9))
{
cout << "Round " << tries << ((tries<10) ? " : " : " : ");
for(i=0;i<9;i++)cout << list[i] << " ";
cout << " Gimme that number:";
while(1)
{
cin >> input;
if(input>1&&input<10)
break;
cout << "\nPlease enter a number between 2 and 9:";
}
tries++;
do_flip(list, 9, input);
}
cout << "Hurray! You solved it in %d moves!\n";

Delphi
This program simulates a console application in an event-drivern, GUI application. It does this by creating a special helper object that manages the TMemo control. The helper-object waits for keystrokes and returns when the user has pressed a key or the program aborts. Notice how the object is created and destroyed every time you wait for a key stroke. This a common practice in Delphi and it works because the creation of an object is a low overhead opeation. That allows you to eliminate global variables and isolate resources to specific parts of the program.

Number Reversal Game is a room.
The current list is a list of numbers that varies.
When play begins:
now the current list is a shuffled list from 1 to 9;
now the command prompt is "Current list: [current list in brace notation].[line break]How many items to flip? ".
Definition: a list of numbers (called L) is sorted:
repeat with N running from 1 to the number of entries in L:
if entry N in L is not N, no;
yes.
To decide which list of numbers is a shuffled list from (min - number) to (max - number):
let result be a list of numbers;
repeat with N running from min to max:
add N to result;
while true is true:
sort result in random order;
if result is not sorted, decide on result.
Flipping is an action applying to one number. Understand "[number]" as flipping.
Carry out flipping:
let N be the number understood;
let L be the current list;
truncate the current list to the first N entries;
reverse the current list;
truncate L to the last (number of entries in L minus N) entries;
add L to the current list.
Report flipping: say "".
Every turn:
if the current list is sorted, end the story saying "You have won".
This is the new print final score rule:
say "It took you [turn count] flip[s] to sort the list."
The new print final score rule is listed instead of the print final score rule in the for printing the player's obituary rules.

Using some ready made Print's from BASIC example
Using stack of values which we can move easy values. When we call subs and pass arguments that arguments as values stored to same stack, but because we pop them (read to variables) we leave stack with 9 values for the game.
To check if we have all values in order, we just check the difference of two items one after the other, if is one, and if not one then we leave checking returning false.
Sub CheckStack get a value by reference. Because stack of values always get values, a reference is a copy of a weak reference, so in CheckStack a new variable defined as local ok, and get the reference from weak reference in stack. When a sub exit any new,including local variables removed (deleted). Subs are always local to Module, and have same scope as module scope.
To display the values of stack we use Stack statement with no arguments.

Raku
(formerly Perl 6)
Do-at-least-once loops are fairly rare, but this program wants to have two of them. We use the built-in .pick(*) method to shuffle the numbers. We use .= to dispatch a mutating method in two spots; the first is just a different way to write ++, while the second of these reverses an array slice in place. The [<] is a reduction operator on less than, so it returns true if the elements of the list are strictly ordered. We also see in the first repeat loop that, although the while condition is not tested till after the loop, the while condition can in fact declare the variable that will be initialized the first time through the loop, which is a neat trick, and not half unreadable once you get used to it.
repeat while [<] my @jumbled-list {
@jumbled-list = (1..9).pick(*)
}
my $turn = 0;
repeat until [<] @jumbled-list {
my $d = prompt $turn.=succ.fmt('%2d: ') ~
@jumbled-list ~
" - Flip how many digits? "
or exit;
@jumbled-list[^$d] .= reverse;
}
say " @jumbled-list[]";
say "You won in $turn turns.";
Output:
1: 3 5 8 2 7 9 6 1 4 - Flip how many digits ? 6
2: 9 7 2 8 5 3 6 1 4 - Flip how many digits ? 9

UNIX Shell
This task becomes easier if your shell has arrays and a random number generator. POSIX shells have not those. If you would do this task with a POSIX shell, then you would pretend arrays with eval, as in eval "\$array_$index=value", and you would implement your own random number generator.
This solution uses the arrays and the random number generator from the Korn shell. It also shows a few other Korn features: the (( )) and [[ ]] commands, the print statement, and some local integer variables in some function.
print "\nWelcome to the number reversal game!\n"
print "You must put the numbers in order from 1 to 9."
print "Your only moves are to reverse groups of numbers"
print "on the left side of the list."
