something to put numbers in order...

[Semidevil]

I"m doing my homework, and it surely is a pain in the A$$, when given like 20 random data, I need to put them in order manaully.

Is there a way for the computer to do it? excel? another program?

in excel

=(A1 + whatever you want to add)

copy and paste it into all cells below

That sorts?

 

Data --> Sort --> Ascending/Descending

As in given twenty random numbers, sort said numbers in order?

Yes, Excel. Or Access.

void quickSort(int numbers[], int array_size)
{
q_sort(numbers, 0, array_size - 1);
}


void q_sort(int numbers[], int left, int right)
{
int pivot, l_hold, r_hold;

l_hold = left;
r_hold = right;
pivot = numbers

;
while (left < right)
{
while ((numbers

>= pivot) && (left < right))
right--;
if (left != right)
{
numbers

= numbers

;
left++;
}
while ((numbers

<= pivot) && (left < right))
left++;
if (left != right)
{
numbers

= numbers

;
right--;
}
}
numbers

= pivot;
pivot = left;
left = l_hold;
right = r_hold;
if (left < pivot)
q_sort(numbers, left, pivot-1);
if (right > pivot)
q_sort(numbers, pivot+1, right);
