How can I get my program to read a list and sort it alphebetically to an array. var streamin : int var nameCount : int var name : string open : streamin, "Names.txt", get assert streamin > 0 nameCount:= 0 loop get : streamin, skip exit when eof(streamin) get : streamin, name nameCount:= nameCount + 1 end loop close (streamin) open : streamin, "Names.txt", get assert streamin > 0 var Names : array 1..nameCount of string for i : 1..nameCount get : streamin, Names(i) end for close (streamin) for i : 1..nameCount put Names(i) end for |

There are different ways of sorting arrays. Probably the easiest would be the bubble sort. With your code it would look something like:
Of course it's been a while since I've had to sort something, so it'd be best for you to check out the sorting lesson in the tutorial's section. |

Look around for Catalyt's TuringLib. It has quick sort in it...so you'll be set... But if you're new at Turing, your teacher won't believe you made a q-sort. In that case stick w/ the bubble sort...of which everyone knows something about. |
