Help me ! identifying the mistake

[o0oNorao0o]

Help me to identify the mistake ..
it's about selection sort .
I can't execute it properly although the builder shows (PROCESS COMPLETED)

import java.util.Scanner;
public class select 
{
	public static void main (String []args)
	{
		Scanner abc= new Scanner (System.in);
		System.out.println("Enter 4 integers :");
		int [] num = new int [4];
		for (int i = 0 ; i<num.length ; i++)
		{
					num[i]= abc.nextInt();
		}
		for (int i = num.length-1 ; i >=0 ;i--)
		{
		int	highest = i;
		for (int j = i ; j>=0 ;i--)
		{
			if (num [j]> num [highest])
			{
				highest = j ; 
				}
		}
		int temp = num[i];
		num[i] = num[highest];
		num[highest]=temp;
		}
		for (int i = 0 ; i<num.length ; i++)
		{
			System.out.println(num[i]);
		}
	}
}

THANKS IN ADVANCE:)

I mean the output only shows the message

"Enter 4 integers "
then the user can write infinite integer numbers although I coded the program to enter only 4 numbers :(

Take a look at the your nested for loop.

     for (int i = num.length-1 ; i >=0 ;i--) {
          int highest = i;
          for (int j = i ; j>=0 ;i--) {
               if (num [j]> num [highest]) {
                     highest = j ; 
               }
          }
          int temp = num[i];
          num[i] = num[highest];
          num[highest]=temp;
     }

Check out your inner loop with the j variable, when is that being changed? How will that end?

[o0oNorao0o]

Oh thanks I forgot to change the decrement variable of the inner loop
but I still have problem ..
Look at the output ..after :
1) changing the decrement variable of the inner loop to j .
2) adding

		System.out.println("The numbers are sorted in ascending order :");

before the last < for > loop .

Enter 4 integers :
6
3
2
0
The numbers are sorted in ascending order :
6
6
6
6

Process completed.

Try adding some debug lines to see whats going on when you are sorting. If I had to guess, since you are decrementing in the second for loop, its always finding the largest since its in the lowest index. You then replace all the indexes with the highest.

Sorry I couldn't solve it properly ..
Could you help me ?

[pbrockway2]

Did you add some debug lines? (System.out.println() to show the values of things) Perhaps you could post your current code, and say what the behaviour is.
