Thread: tracing

Below i have implemented a bubble sort function but i need help in making the bubble sort having a trace function. I just want to print out each pass of the sort until it is finally sorted.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 10

int main()
{
	int a[ SIZE ] = { 2, 6, 4, 8, 10, 12, 89, 68, 45, 37 };
	int i, pass, hold;

	printf( "Data items in original order\n" );

	for ( i = 0; i <= SIZE - 1; i++ )
		printf( "%4d", a[ i ] );

	for ( pass = 1; pass <= SIZE - 1; pass++ )
		for( i = 0; i <= SIZE - 2; i++ )
		
		if ( a[ i ] > a[ i + 1 ] ) {
		hold = a[ i ];		/* store the value */
		a[ i ] = a[ i + 1 ];	/* assign a[i] the a[i+1] value */
		a[ i + 1 ] = hold;	/* assign a[i+1] the hold value */
	}	
		
	printf( "\nData items in ascending order\n" );

	for ( i = 0; i <= SIZE - 1; i++ )
		printf( "%4d", a[ i ] );

	printf( "\n" );

	return 0;
}

hehe good idea
Thanks.

its done

one last thing,

with my comments for the swap, just after the if statement, is that the correct idea?
