Strings in Alphabetical order?

[Bearcats09]

I'm not sure how to program things to appear in alphabetical order.

Generally you get a vector or some other container of stuff, and then sort it according to however you want it to appear.

There is a algorithm sort in the STL library. However it's best to write your own so you understand how all the different sorts work.

typical bubble sort: Bubble is a little more complicated than insertion or selection sorts so you should look up how to do insertion and selection, both of which can be found on wikipedia

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void bubbleSort(int[], int);

int main ()
{
  int y = 0;
  int myarray[10] =  { 9, 3, 6, 1, 4, 8, 7, 2, 10, 5 };

  bubbleSort(myarray, 10);
  
  for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
    cout << myarray[i] << endl;

  return 0;
}

void bubbleSort(int arr[], int n)
{
   bool swapped = true;
   int j = 0;
   int tmp;

   while (swapped)
   {
      swapped = false;
      j++;
      for (int i = 0; i < n - j; i++)
      {
         if (arr[i] > arr[i + 1])
         {

            tmp = arr[i];
            arr[i] = arr[i + 1];
            arr[i + 1] = tmp;
            swapped = true;
         }
      }
   }
}

a string version of gcampton's bubble sort..

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

void bubbleSort(string[], int);

int main ()
{
  int y = 0;
  string myarray[6] =  { "orange", "apple", "mango", "lemon", "guava", "strawberry" };

  bubbleSort(myarray, 6);
  
  for (int i=0; i<6; i++)
    cout << myarray[i] << endl;

  return 0;
}

void bubbleSort(string arr[], int n)
{
   bool swapped = true;
   int j = 0;
   string tmp;

   while (swapped)
   {
      swapped = false;
      j++;
      for (int i = 0; i < n - j; i++)
      {
         if ( arr[i].compare(arr[i + 1]) )
         {

            tmp = arr[i];
            arr[i] = arr[i + 1];
            arr[i + 1] = tmp;
            swapped = true;
         }
      }
   }
}
