Help with Arrays

[lordoftheflies]

I have this problem with arrays. I've gotten the first part, where I can input numbers and it outputs the same set, and I've even figured out how to make the smallest number in the set of numbers. But I need it to display the numbers in order, from least to greatest.

var number : array 1 .. 10 of int
var small : int

put "Input number"
for i : 1 .. 10
get number (i)
end for

small := number (1)

put "Smallest number"
for i : 2 .. 10
if small > number (i) then
small := number (i)
end if
end for
put small


that's what I have so far... thanks

In order to output them in order, you need to sort them so they are in order... makes sense, right?

There is a bubble sort procedure here:

but DON'T COPY IT DIRECTLY
doing so is plagarism, and is subject to things as severe as expulsion in some schools. Instead, read the code, and learn from it. Create your own procedure that will do the same thing using the concept. Once you learn this, it is an easy matter to create your own.

Good luck.

Another good post to refer to: http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=4091

That post contains terrific code, but it might be a little hard to understand what's going on just from the code. Perhaps some sort of detailed explanation of the concept, and some visuals would help? Try Wikipedia's Sorting Algorithm page. Scroll down a bit to the Summaries of some popular sorting algorithms. Try following the link to the full page about that type of sort. The Quicksort page, for example, has some nice visuals.
