Bubble Sort

[Cruger]

Hi there,
I have a bubble sort java code which is sorting a integer of array in ascending order. But I also want another code which sorting it in descending order. But i have no idea how to do it. Please help me to modify my code to sort an array in descending order.

Here is my code which sort in ascending order:
public class BubbleSort{

public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] number = {8,5,3,2,9};
int temp;
boolean fixed = false;

while (fixed == false){
fixed = true;

for (int i=0; i<number.length-1; i++){
if (number [i]>number [i+1]){
temp = number [i+1];
number [i+1] = number [i];
number [i] = temp;
fixed = false;

}

}

}

for (int i=0; i<number.length; i++){
System.out.println(number[i]);

}

}

}

Please place your code between [CODE][/CODE] tags to format it. I have done it here for you.

public class BubbleSort {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      int[] number = { 8, 5, 3, 2, 9
      };
      int temp;
      boolean fixed = false;
      while (fixed == false) {
         fixed = true;
         for (int i = 0; i < number.length - 1; i++) {
            if (number[i] > number[i + 1]) {
               temp = number[i + 1];
               number[i + 1] = number[i];
               number[i] = temp;
               fixed = false;
            }
         }
      }
      for (int i = 0; i < number.length; i++) {
         System.out.println(number[i]);
      }
   }
}

Did you write this code? The reason I ask is because you must know how to sort in one direction vs the other to write any sort routine. So find that particular statement and change it. It may help to follow the algorithm on paper.
