Question

Hi everyone! I was wondering if any of you want to help me with a computer science problem I have for one of my classes. I do not understand how to do it which is why I ask.
Here is the problem: Write an algorithm for placing a set of pencils in order from largest to smallest (left to right).

I learned other sorting algorithms but I don't quite understand how to implement them into my own algorithm.

Thanks.

Answer:

Use bubble sorting

Here is an example program I made:

for(int i = 0; i < length; i++){

     for(int j = 0; j < length; j++){

       if(j != length - 1){

         if(input[j] > input[j + 1]){

          storeVar = input[j];

         

          input[j] = input[j+1]; //storeVar2;

         

          input[j+1] = storeVar;

         }

       }

     }
