You are trying to sort them based on age. Look up Bubble Sort, it has been mentioned numerous times through the forums. |

Since you only need to know the oldest and the youngest, you can avoid arrays and sorting by keeping a "running" min and max. Hint: Initialize min to a high number and max to a low number. Update as you get the ages. |
