C Exercises: Sort elements of array in ascending order
11. Sort Array Ascending
Write a program in C to sort elements of an array in ascending order.
Visual Presentation:
Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int arr1[100];
int n, i, j, tmp;
// Prompt user for input
printf("\n\nSort elements of array in ascending order:\n");
printf("----------------------------------------------\n");
printf("Input the size of array : ");
scanf("%d", &n);
// Input elements for the array
printf("Input %d elements in the array :\n", n);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
printf("element - %d : ", i);
scanf("%d", &arr1[i]);
}
// Sorting elements in ascending order using the Bubble Sort algorithm
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
for (j = i + 1; j < n; j++)
{
if (arr1[j] < arr1[i])
{
// Swap elements if they are in the wrong order
tmp = arr1[i];
arr1[i] = arr1[j];
arr1[j] = tmp;
}
}
}
// Print sorted elements in ascending order
printf("\nElements of array in sorted ascending order:\n");
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
printf("%d ", arr1[i]);
}
printf("\n\n");
}
Sample Output:
sort elements of array in ascending order :
----------------------------------------------
Input the size of array : 5
Input 5 elements in the array :
element - 0 : 2
element - 1 : 7
element - 2 : 4
element - 3 : 5
element - 4 : 9
Elements of array in sorted ascending order:
2 4 5 7 9
