Step 4- The Last Layer Edge Orientation
This is the first of 4 steps to solve the Last Layer. In this step, we only going to orientate the edges so that they are all in the correct orientation. As of now, it doesn't matter if the Last Layer edges are in the correct position. First, flip your cube upside-down so that it looks like the one below. This is the way we will hold the cube for the rest of the steps.

Now examine the cube. If the previous steps have been performed correctly, your cube will be in one of the following positions. Follow the corresponding steps for the matching cube.


You should be very happy to find out that you can completely skip this step! Your cube is already ready for Step 5.

Perform the following algorithm:
F U R U' R' F'

Perform the following algorithm:
F R U R' U' F'

Perform either of the above algorithms. Then re-examine the cube and find the correct situation above. Then perform the correct algorithm.
When this step is done, your cube should look like the Situation 1 cube.
