Question

Ok, the purpose of my program c homework is to insert a certain set of numbers, and sort it from least to greatest. I did write my function, and in my personal opinion, theoretically everything should work fine. However, after inserting the values, wierd numbers are printing at the end. When i inserted the order 1) 5 2) 1 4 6 3 2, then something like -1203481 -1204124 -230235 -123048124 1 2 3 4 6 prints.

i guess somewhat it is right, but i think there is an error in my insertion (main) function. OTHER STUDENTS, PLEASE DON'T COPY MY WORK, SERIOUSLY. please TELL ME how i could fix this error, or some suggestions! I'm currently stuck! and tired....

#include<stdio.h>

int sorting(int x[], int size);

int swap(int *a, int *b);

int printing(int x[], int size);

int main(){

int i = 0;

int j = 0;

int s = 0;

int data[20];

int len = sizeof(data)/sizeof(data[0]);

printf("Enter the total number of elements of the input: ");

scanf("%d", &s);

printf("Enter the %d elements in any order: ", s);

for(i = 0; i < s; i++){

scanf("%d", &data[i]);

}

sorting(data, len);

printing(data, len);

return(0);

}

int sorting(int x[], int size){

int i = 0;

int j = 0;

int min = 0;

for(i = 0; i < size; i++){

min = i;

for(j = i; j < size; j++){

if (x[j] < x[min]){

min = j;

}

swap(&x[i], &x[min]);

}

}

}

int swap(int *a, int*b){

int temp = *a;

*a = *b;

*b = temp;

}

int printing(int x[], int size){

int i = 0;

for(i = 0; i < size; i++){

printf("%d ", x[i]);

}

printf(" ");

}

Explanation / Answer

sorting(data, len);

printing(data, len);

in above statemetns instead of len u have to pass s i.e no of elemetns..

that is the reason y u r getting junk numbers in your answers..

change above statements to

sorting(data, s);

printing(data, s);
