/**
 * Circular Look Scheduling (C-LOOK) is a disk scheduling algorithm similar to
 * the C-SCAN algorithm but with a key difference. In C-LOOK, the disk arm also
 * moves in one direction to service requests, but instead of going all the way
 * to the end of the disk, it only goes as far as the furthest request in the
 * current direction. After servicing the last request in the current direction,
 * the arm immediately jumps back to the closest request on the other side without
 * moving to the disk's extreme ends. This reduces the unnecessary movement of the
 * disk arm, resulting in better performance compared to C-SCAN, while still
 * maintaining fair wait times for requests.
