    Post sorting arrays..

    yeah, im kinda stuck again ;/ need to sort an array in increasing order, and this is what i got so far (functions to sort arrays):

    Code:
    void swap(int x, int y){
    	int t;
    	t=x;
    	x=y;
    	y=t;
    }
    int mPos(int w[], int n){
    	int mp=0;
    	for(int i=1;i<n;i++)
    		if(w[i]>w[mp])
    			mp=i;
    		return mp;
    }
    void sort(int w[],int n){
    	int mp;
    	for(int i=n;i>1;i--){
    		mp=mPos(w,i);
    		swap(w[mp],w[i-1]);
    }}
    this is what the professor gave us a while back in class, but when i call up the function, (ie. sort(w,n) ) it doesnt do anything, and returns the values in the same order i entered them ;/

    any help/suggestions?

    in the declaration (before main) or in the function itself?
