This is an ascending order sorting problem from descending order

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int n,i; printf("Enter the size of the array : "); scanf("%d",&n); int arr[n]; printf("enter the elements in the array : "); for(i=0;i<n;i++) { scanf("%d",&arr[i]); } for(i=0;i<n;i++) { printf("the elements entered at index %d: %d\n",i,arr[i]); } int temp=0; printf("the sorted array is : "); for(i=0;i<n;i++) { if(arr[i]>arr[i+1]){ temp=arr[i]; arr[i]=arr[i+1]; arr[i+1]=temp; } } for(i=0;i<n;i++){ printf("%d",arr[i]); } return 0; } Input: 10 9 8 7 6 5 Expected output : 5 6 7 8 9 10 Original output : 9 8 7 6 5 01 Whats the wrong here ? Why it's only changing the first element why not the whole thing?

because it checks every number against every other number. one loop only checks numbers next to eachother. write the values out on a peice of paper if that helps you see it better

i only see one for loop in there to bubble sort them. i beleive it uses 2. int i, x; for (i=0; i<(n-1); i++) for (x=1; x<n; x++) if (arr[i] > arr[x]) { // sort here }
