[SOLVED] c++ sorting problem

phil67rpg · 2012-10-04T02:09:05

I have been working on this problem for a while.I am working on writing a program that asks the user to enter the number of pancakes eaten for breakfast by 10 different people. My question how do I modify this program so that it outputs a list in order of number of pancakes eaten by all 10 people. I am using a bubble sort to sort the array of values.I also want to output which person ate the least and most number of pancakes, which I have figured out. I want the program to output the following list. Person 4: ate 10 pancakes. Person 3: ate 7 pancakes. Person 8: ate 4 pancakes. ... Person 5: ate 0 pancakes. Here is the code I am using. [source lang =c++] #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int array[10]; int main() { for(int i=0;i< 10;i++) { cout << "Enter number of pancakes eaten: "; cin >> array; } for(int i=0; i<10; i++) { for(int j=0;j<i;j++) { if(array<array[j]) { int temp = array; array=array[j]; array[j]=temp; } } } int size=10; int position = 0; int result = -1; int target=array[9]; while(result==-1 && position < size) { if(array[position] == target) { result = position; } position++; } cout << endl; cout << "Person " << result << " ate " << array[result] << " the most pancakes." << endl; cout << endl; size=10; position=0; result = -1; target = array[0]; while(result==-1 && position < size) { if(array[position] == target) { result = position; } position++; } cout << endl; cout << "Person " << result << " ate " << array[result] << " the least pancakes." << endl; cout << endl; for (int j=0; j< 10; j++) { cout << "Person " << j << " ate " << array[j] << " pancakes." << endl; } int test; cin >> test; return 0; } [/source]

His original thread can be found here. I'm not sure why he made this thread... perhaps a mistake.

I was working on a bubble sort program.I learned how to implement a parallel array.I am learning how to finish a program.
