I have created a program previously using the BubbleSort method that works to sort numbers in a list that already exists, however, I am having difficulty with trying to manipulate this program in order to allow a user to input the list of numbers to be sorted instead. So far I have:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MedianValue {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//use scanner to input list of numbers to sort
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int[] numbers = new int[] {scan.nextInt()};
//nested for loop
//outer loop just iterating
//inner loop going through and flipping
//checking if out of order (if statement)
int counter = 0;
//outer loop: keep doing this until it's sorted
for(int i = 0; i < numbers.length - 1; i = i + 1)
//put in a inner loop number.length times minus one because we don't want to swap the last element
for(counter = 0; counter < numbers.length - 1; counter = counter + 1)
{
if (numbers [counter] > numbers [counter + 1])
{
int temporary = numbers [counter];
numbers [counter] = numbers [counter + 1];
numbers [counter + 1] = temporary;
}
}
for(int i =0; i < numbers.length; i = i + 1)
{
System.out.print(numbers[i] + " ");
}
}
}
But, in this program, instead of sorting the inputted numbers, the program simply prints the first number that is inputted by the user. I am not sure if I need to move where my scanner function is placed, or add on to it within the loop for it to sort all of the numbers as I want it to do. I am lost on where to change the program if that is the case.
That's because int[] numbers = new int[] {scan.nextInt()}; is a single assigment. scan read a single input and assign to number[0].
You actually need to modify your code for scan to read n numbers and store in n-sized numbers.
something like.
int[] numbers = new int[scan.nextInt()];
for( int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)
numbers[i] = scan.nextInt();
