Comparing values

I'm trying to write a program that will compare 5 integer values and put them in smallest to biggest order. So far I can only find the smallest and biggest integer. I'm stucking with the other 3 remain in the middle. Here is my code look like:

Code:

---


const int ArraySize = 5;

int getSmallvalue(int card[], int size)
{
        int order;
        int small = 1;

        for(order = 0; order < size; order++)
        {
                if(card[small] >= card[order])
                                small = order;
        }

        return small;
}

int getBigvalue(int card[], int size)
{
        int order;
        int big = 13;
        for(order=0; order<size; order++)
        {
                if(card[big] <= card[order])
                        big = order;
        }
        return big;
}

int main()
{
start:
        cout<<"Enter 5 cards: "<<endl;

        for(int j=0; j<ArraySize; j++)
                cin>>CardInput[j];

        for(j=0; j<ArraySize; j++)
        {
                if((CardInput[j] < 1) || (CardInput[j] > 52))
                {
                        cout<<"The card cannot be smaller than 1 or bigger than 52"<<endl;
                        goto start;
                }
        }


        for(j=0; j<ArraySize; j++)
        {
                if((CardInput[j] > 0) && (CardInput[j] <= 13)){
                        Diamond += 1;
                }

                if((CardInput[j] >= 14) && (CardInput[j] <= 26)){
                        Heart += 1;
                        CardInput[j] -= 13;
                }

                if((CardInput[j] >= 27) && (CardInput[j] <= 39)){
                        Spade += 1;
                        CardInput[j] -= 26;
                }

                if((CardInput[j] >= 40) && (CardInput[j] <= 52)){
                        Club += 1;
                        CardInput[j] -= 39;
                }
        }
cout<<"\nSmallest card is: "<<CardInput[getSmallvalue(CardInput, ArraySize)]<<endl;
cout<<"\nBiggest card is: "<<CardInput[getBigvalue(CardInput, ArraySize)]

}

The biggest number is 13 and smallest is 1. The number above 13 will be subtract by 13, 26..., so that the value always stays between 1 and 13

Please help me, and I really don't want to bunch of "if" and "else" statements. They are pain and so confuse in this matter. Thanks

1) cin user entries into an array of integers

2) sort the array in ascending order (bubblesort algorithm is easy.. could also use the sort( ) function from the <algorithm> library.. a google or board search will get you code for basically any sorting algorithm you want)

3) once the array is sorted, you know the smallest number will be at array[0] and the largest number will be located at array[4]

take a look at priority queues they give this exact function.
