MATLAB: Counting the number of steps taken by the sorting algorithm

counting steps

Hi, I have a code that sorts the elements by their values as an Assignment, but I also need to specify the number of steps that were taken by the code.I searched everywhere and couldn't find any answers Could somebody help me? Here is the code:
X = [9 2 5 7 3 8 1 4 6 0 -2 -7];
n = length(X);
for i=1:n-1
    A=X(i);
    for j=i+1:n;
        if X(j)>A;
            A=X(j);
            X(j)=X(i);
            X(i)=A;
        end
    end
end
X
Thank you in advance:)

X = [9 2 5 7 3 8 1 4 6 0 -2 -7];
n = length(X);
numSteps=0;
for i=1:n-1
  A=X(i);
  for j=i+1:n;
      if X(j)>A;
          A=X(j);
          X(j)=X(i);
          X(i)=A;
          numSteps=numSteps+1;
      end
  end
end
X
numSteps
