Thread: Array question.

Sorry newbie here! Pls bear...

Yeah I want the user to enter 10 digits, stored in arrays. Arary is then sorted in descending order(using functions is possible). Then using another function display the sorted array.

Aahhhhh sh|t! The program crashed!

Ggrrr... I'd post up, what I have done as soon as I re-type it. My problem was the sorting in descending order part. I don't get how to do it(I tried). I thought it would've worked, but since it crashed I guess not.

Code:

.
.
.
 for(counter = 1; counter <=10; ++counter)
 { printf("\nEnter 10 numbers: ");
    scanf("%d", &a[counter]);
 }
.

I am not sure if even this works, but I would appreciate it if someone would flame me to the right direction... IF necessary.
Also I don't even know how to sort an array(ascendingly) so I wouldn't know how to follow netboy's method.
Prelude, I am required to use a function to sort it(if it's at all possible) and try not to involve pointers, so your suggested method I'm gonna keep as a last resort. Anyway, I did a little search on some C sites and came up with the below code for sorting.

Code:

/* bubble sort the array */
for (x=0; x < MAX-1; x++)
    for (y=0; y < MAX-x-1; y++)
        if (a[y] > a[y+1])
        {
            t=a[y];
            a[y]=a[y+1];
            a[y+1]=t;
        }
/* print sorted array */
printf("--------------------\n");
for (i=0; i < MAX; i++)
printf("%d\n",a[i]);

I don't really know how to implement it seeing as how I won't know the MAX value either.

why dont you replace MAX by 10 and try to understand what the code is doing ?
