Here’s a simple Program to Sort n numbers in ascending order. Sorting is a process of rearranging the numbers in an array or a list in some order, which will be ascending or descending order. Sorting is handy and has a lot of application-level usage in real life. In c programming, there are different kinds of sorting methods used depends on the technique used to sort the elements. Each method uses a different type of technique, and all have various complexities for both the best case and worst case. Some of the sorting ways in c are:
Ascending order means arranging the numbers from smallest to biggest. In this c program, we need to put the elements of an array in ascending order. For example, if we have a set of numbers like '1, 5, 3, 8, 7, 6'. we need to change it to '1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8' that is sorted in ascending order.
In this c program, first, we accept the count of the numbers the user wants to check. Then we get the numbers from the user using for loop and save it into the array number[]. By using a nested 'for loop', we check each element of the array with the next element; if the number is greater than the following number, then we will swap the numbers using a temporary variable. Finally, after completing iterations of the for loop, display the sorted array using for loop.
STEP 1: Include the header files to use the built-in functions in the C program.
STEP 2: Declare the integer variables i, j, a, n, and the Array number[30].
STEP 3: Read the value of N into the variable 'n'.
STEP 4: Read the numbers into the Array number[i] using for loop.
STEP 5: Set i=0.
STEP 6: Check i
STEP 7: set j=i+1.
STEP 8: Check if number[i] > number[j] if true then Swap the numbers.
STEP 9: Increment 'j' by 1 and do step 7.
STEP 10: Increment 'i' by 1 do step 6.
STEP 11: Display the numbers arranged in ascending order as the numbers in the Array number[] using for loop.
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int i, j, a, n, number[30];
printf("Enter the value of N\n");
scanf("%d", & n);
printf("Enter the numbers \n"); /* accept the elements from the user */
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
scanf("%d", & number[i]);
}
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
for (j = i + 1; j < n; ++j)
{
if (number[i] > number[j]) /* swapping the elements in the ascending order */
{
a = number[i];
number[i] = number[j];
number[j] = a;
}
}
}
printf("The numbers arranged in ascending order are given below\n"); /* display the output */
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
printf("%d\n", number[i]);
} /* End of main() */
Enter the value of N 5 Enter the numbers 80 20 67 10 45 The numbers arranged in ascending order are given below 10 20 45 67 80
