Sorting a set of numbers based on what the user inputs?
I've looked around for some help on this but I can only find how to sort for a specific array size. The directions are as follows:
Write a program that finds the largest in a series of numbers entered by the user. The program must prompt the user to enter numbers one by one. When the user enters a 0 or a negative number, the program must display the largest nonnegative number entered.
Here is what I have so far:
Code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
/*This program will find the largest number in a series of positive numbers */
/*entered one number at a time. Enter a 0 or negative number to end the loop*/
int n, temp;
int counter = 1;
int largest = 0;
printf("Enter a number:");
scanf("%d", &n);
while(n > 0)
{
printf("Enter a number:");
scanf("%d", &n);
}
while(n <= 0)
{
while(counter <= n)
{
if(n > largest)
{
temp = 0;
temp = largest;
largest = n;
}
else if(n < largest);
{
temp = 0;
temp = largest;
largest = largest;
}
counter++;
printf("The largerst number is: %d", &largest);
}
}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
I am using bloodshed if that makes any difference, please let me know what I need to change, thanks.
