/**
 *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_seek_first
 * Shortest Seek First (SFF) Scheduling algorithm implementation.
 * The SFF algorithm selects the next request to be serviced based on the shortest distance
 * from the current position of the disk arm. It continuously evaluates all pending requests
 * and chooses the one that requires the least amount of movement to service.
 *
 * This approach minimizes the average seek time, making it efficient in terms of response
 * time for individual requests. However, it may lead to starvation for requests located
 * further away from the current position of the disk arm.
 *
 * The SFF algorithm is particularly effective in systems where quick response time
 * is crucial, as it ensures that the most accessible requests are prioritized for servicing.
