Straight Insertion Sort and Binary Insertion Sort

[Joe Turner]

hi

im studying ada currently as part of my degree at aston university in
birmingham.
I am currently working on a piece that requires an array of records to be
sorted into alphabetical order. I have looked through all notes on the
topic, and also my Feldman & Koffman Ada 95 text book, but still am unsure
how to tackle the problem.
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be a great help.
 I have finished the program, and it produces my required output, its just
not in the right order. Sigh. hehe.

thanks
please email me if you have any hints.

There's a couple of odd things in your request. You say:

  "am unsure how to tackle the problem"

and

  "I have finished the program... its just not in the right order."

So either you _tackled_ the problem (and it didn't work), or you want
some of us to help you with your homework, which you havn't tackled
at all yet ;-)

Ask a more specific question.

What specifically do you need help with?
