Assign True to the variable is_ascending if the list numbers is in ascending order (that is, if each element of the list is greater than or equal to the previous element in the list). Otherwise, assign False with is_ascending.

The question seem incomplete as the list is not given and the programming language is not stated;

To answer this question, I'll answer this question using Python programming language and the program will allow user input.

Input will stop until user enters 0

The program is as follows

newlist = []

print("Input into the list; Press 0 to stop")

userinput = int(input("User Input:"))

while not userinput == 0:

     newlist.append(userinput)

     userinput = int(input("User Input:"))

is_ascending = "True"

i = 1

while i < len(newlist):  

     if(newlist[i] < newlist[i - 1]):  

           is_ascending = "False"

     i += 1

print(newlist)

print(is_ascending)

Explanation:

This line declares an empty list

newlist = []

This line prompts gives instruction to user on how to stop input

print("Input into the list; Press 0 to stop")

This line prompts user for input

userinput = int(input("User Input:"))

This next three lines takes input from the user until the user enters 0

while not userinput == 0:

     newlist.append(userinput)

     userinput = int(input("User Input:"))

The next line initialized "True" to variable is_ascending

is_ascending = "True"

The next 5 line iterates from the index element of the list till the last to check if the list is sorted

i = 1

while i < len(newlist):  

     if(newlist[i] < newlist[i - 1]):  

           is_ascending = "False"

     i += 1

The next line prints the list

print(newlist)

The next line prints the value of is_ascending

print(is_ascending)

that would be my answer.
