/**
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator_algorithm
 * SCAN Scheduling algorithm implementation.
 * The SCAN algorithm moves the disk arm towards one end of the disk, servicing all requests
 * along the way until it reaches the end. Once it reaches the end, it reverses direction
 * and services the requests on its way back.
 *
 * This algorithm ensures that all requests are serviced in a fair manner,
 * while minimizing the seek time for requests located close to the current position
 * of the disk arm.
 *
 * The SCAN algorithm is particularly useful in environments with a large number of
 * disk requests, as it reduces the overall movement of the disk arm compared to
