Thread: display in ascending order multidimensional integer values

I have a code as shown below, which produces output as below

83,72,91,42,0,78,92,81,68,0,82,55,36,22,11,

but actually I want output in ascending order like
0,0,11,22,36,42,55,68,72,78,81,82,83,91,92

How it can be done?

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
    int array[3][5]= {{83,72,91,42},{78,92,81,68},{82,55,36,22,11}},i,j;
    for (i=0; i<3; i++)
    {
        for (j=0; j<5; j++)
        {
            cout <<   array[i][j];
            cout << ",";
        }

    }
cin.get ();

}

Looks like you'll need to sort the array.

HI Jim,

How can I do the sorting? Can you please post a sample code?

FYI: I'm just a beginner for programming

I suggest you use your favorite search engine to search for information on sorting arrays. Something like "C++ sorting arrays" would probably get you thousands of pages to view. Learning to research the problem is one of the biggest skills you will need to learn to become an actual programmer.

i already searched online before creating a new thread here. Most of the pages were just complicated for me to understand.

Thanks. I will keep trying, hope I will get something easier.

Well since you haven't shown anything related to sorting, or even asked about how to sort, how would anyone, other than yourself, know that?

Show what you've tried, and ask specific questions about what you don't understand. Sorting in C++ can be very simple, if you are allowed to use some standard C++ functions like std::sort.
