Python: Write a program that takes an integer list as input and sorts the list into descending order using selection sort. The program should use nested loops and output the list after each iteration of the outer loop, thus outputting the list N-1 times (where N is the size of the list). Ex: If the input is: 20 10 30 40 the output is: [40, 10, 30, 20] [40, 30, 10, 20] [40, 30, 20, 10]
