Wil -
You had it sort of right - here is the bubble sort corrected.
public static void main (String args[])
{
int i, j;
int numElement = 4;
int arr[]={4,7,3,9};
int temp=-1;
int iptr=-1;
// Print out the initial array.
for (int y=0; y<4; y++)
{
System.out.println(arr[y]);
}
// Start the sort. Repeat number of elements less 1 times.
for(i=0; i<numElement;i++)
{
for (j=0; j<numElement-1; j++)
{
if (arr[j] < arr[j+1])
{
temp = arr[j];
arr[j]=arr[j+1];
arr[j+1]=temp;
}
}
}
for (int y=0; y<4; y++)
{
System.out.println(arr[y]);
}
}
As a note, watch which elements you are switching. To make the sort
ascending or descinding, switch the < or > in the main comparison.
Hope this helps,
Fred.
