Thread: BUBBLE SORT

Yep, and that's precisely why I was trying to lead him to water, rather than provide a direct answer.

well i set breakpoints and saw that as the loop runs my arraylength is 51 since the index value = 51 because there are 52 values total During the loop i also saw that the values are not being sorted in ascending order it takes the first value in teh array and tests to see if its in order if not then it should swap. I am so lost at why this sort wont work??????

If ever there was a first year programming homework question, it's a bubblesort implementation!!

I hope your tongue gets stuck firmly in your cheek ;P.

if your going to use a do and a for - then you need to make sure your not exceeding the size of the array. You can't compare if i+1 is greater then getupperbound(0). so you need to test for that. if you use a for and a for then it will do it for you. Dim sa() As String = { " a" , " z" , " e" , " b" , " j" , " k" , "...

I remember developing a wonderful bit of code for a bubblesort algorithm. Imagine how gutted I was when I discovered that by writing a simple IComparer implementation I could take advantage of the much better bubblesort algorithim built in to .Net. Just like Microsoft to develop the same code already. Serves me right for not checking the documentation first.
