Help with sort ascending and descending
Can someone please help me with my code.. im kinda stuck in ascending and descending.. here is my code hope you can understand it.. it just need a little of your magic trick so it could arrange the numbers correctly! Thanks in advance!
Java Code:import java.io.*; public class Sorting { public static void main(String[]args)throws IOException{ BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); int [] x; x = new int [10]; int y; try{ System.out.println("Please enter 10 numbers: "); x[0]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[1]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[2]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[3]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[4]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[5]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[6]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[7]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[8]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); x[9]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); System.out.println("Your numbers are: "+x[0]+" "+x[1]+" "+x[2]+" "+x[3]+" "+x[4]+" "+x[5]+" "+x[6]+" "+x[7]+" "+x[8]+" "+x[9]); System.out.println("[1] Sort ascending"); System.out.println("[2] Sort descending"); System.out.println("Choose what type of sort: "); y=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); int j=0,i=0, value = 0, n= x.length; try{ if (y==1){ for(i = 1; i<n;i++){ value = x[i]; j=i; while((j>0)&&(x[j-1]>value)){ x[i] = x [j=1]; j = j-1; } x[j] = value; System.out.println("In ascending order"); for(i=0; i<n; i++) System.out.println(x[i]+" "); } }else if(y==2){ for(i = 1; i>n;i++){ value = x[i]; j=i; while((j>0)&&(x[j-1]>value)){ x[i] = x [j=1]; j = j-1; } x[j] = value; System.out.println("In descending order"); for(i=0; i>n; i++) System.out.println(x[i]+" "); } }else{ System.out.println("Error! choices are 1 and 2 only"); } }catch(NumberFormatException nfe){ System.out.println("Invalid Input! Please try again"); } }catch(NumberFormatException nfe){ System.out.println("Invalid Input! Please try again"); } } }

Please use code tags when posting code (use the # button in the message toolbar).
Unformatted code is hard to follow.
Also, what is your problem?
You haven't actually said...

....
if (y == 1) {
Arrays.sort(x);
} else if (y == 2) {
Arrays.sort(x , Collections.reverseOrder());
}

sorry mate. .its my first time posting a thread here in java-forums.. anyway my problem is here..
Java Code:int j=0,i=0, value = 0, n= x.length; try{ if (y==1){ for(i = 1; i<n;i++){ value = x[i]; j=i; while((j>0)&&(x[j-1]>value)){ x[i] = x [j=1]; j = j-1; } x[j] = value; System.out.println("In ascending order"); for(i=0; i<n; i++) System.out.println(x[i]+" "); } }else if(y==2){ for(i = 1; i>n;i++){ value = x[i]; j=i; while((j>0)&&(x[j-1]>value)){ x[i] = x [j=1]; j = j-1; } x[j] = value; System.out.println("In descending order"); for(i=0; i>n; i++) System.out.println(x[i]+" "); } }else{ System.out.println("Error! choices are 1 and 2 only"); }
as you can see.. its in disorder but it runs smoothly.. Im stuck in this part right here and i don't have a clue to what ill do next, i think my problem is in the computation cause it wont arrange the 10 numbers in ascending and descending order..

Then read Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, choose an algorithm, read, code, ask quations again :D

Or you could try debugging your code to see where the problem is. Add printlns to show the values of variables at the point where you are making decisions and changing the order of the numbers in the array.
Some suggestions for easier debugging:
Hard code the numbers in an array instead of asking a user to enter them:
int[] x = {3,5,1,7,22,6}; // define the numbers to sort
