HELP WITH SIMPLE PROGRAM PLEASE

[ashraf2000]

HI,

I am a beginner and trying to sort numbers which are read from a file
in random order and needs to be sorted out in numerical order.
e.g 7,10,1,5,.... into 1,2,3,....
Below is some code to read the number from a file and display them.

Please help me sort them out.

THANKS in advance.

NOTE: i'm using ADAGIDE.
The program doesn't takes input from user. Uses a text file to read
data. (run-runoptions-redirectinput ... to be specific)

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Integer_Text_IO; use Ada.Integer_Text_IO;
with Ada.Float_Text_IO; use Ada.Float_Text_IO;
with Ada.Numerics.Elementary_Functions;
use Ada.Numerics.Elementary_Functions;

procedure digits_sort is

type no_type is array (1..10) of integer;
no:no_type;

   procedure read is
   begin
      for x in no'first..no'last loop
         get(no(x));
         new_line;
         put(no(x),2);
      end loop;
   end read;

   procedure check is
   temp:integer;
   begin
      if no(1)>no(2) then
         temp:=no(1);
         no(1):=no(2);
         no(2):=temp;
      end if;
   end check;

   procedure output is
   begin
   new_line(3);
      for i in 1..10 loop
         put(no(i),2);
         new_line;
      end loop;
   end output;

begin
read;
check;
output;
end digits_sort;

Is there a specific problem you have with this code you posted?

You need to reassure people that this is not a homework
assignment, since it looks very like one. The code you
quote looks just like typical code that a professor would
give to students to get them started.

I don't think you will find people here ready to do you
assignments for you, the point of an assignment is to
figure out things for yourself.

If you have *specific* questions about things you read or try
and do not understand, then specific questions are most welcome.

Ok. What you have is quite good. You read the data and you write them.
The remaining part is to sort them. Your procedure check is a good
starting point. You check two number and if they are in the wrong order
you swap them. So do this not only for no(1) and no(2) but do it for all
numbers until they are ascending. For more information on sorting
algorithms you should look into the literature, e.g. Wirth's "Algorithm
and datastructures".
