c++ sort array code example

Example 1: sort in descending order c++ stl

sort(arr, arr + n, greater<int>())

Example 2: stl for sorting IN C++

// STL IN C++ FOR SORING
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = {1, 5, 8, 9, 6, 7, 3, 4, 2, 0}; 
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]); 
    sort(arr, arr+n);  // ASCENDING SORT
    reverse(arr,arr+n);   //REVERESE ARRAY 
    sort(arr, arr + n, greater<int>());// DESCENDING SORT
  }

Example 3: how to sort an array in c++

#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 

#define size(arr) sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);


int main(){

    int a[5] = {5, 2, 6,3 ,5};
    int n = size(a);
    sort((a), a + n);
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
        cout << a[i];
    }


    return 0;

}

Example 4: c++ sort array of ints

// C++ program to demonstrate default behaviour of 
// sort() in STL. 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = {1, 5, 8, 9, 6, 7, 3, 4, 2, 0}; 
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]); 
  
    sort(arr, arr+n); 
  
    cout << "\nArray after sorting using "
         "default sort is : \n"; 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) 
        cout << arr[i] << " "; 
  
    return 0; 
}

Example 5: C++ sorting array

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#define MAX 100

int main()
{
	//array declaration
	int arr[MAX];
	int n,i,j;
	int temp;
	
	//read total number of elements to read
	cout<<"Enter total number of elements to read: ";
	cin>>n;
	
	//check bound
	if(n<0 || n>MAX)
	{
		cout<<"Input valid range!!!"<<endl;
		return -1;
	}
	
	//read n elements
	for(i=0;i<n;i++)
	{
		cout<<"Enter element ["<<i+1<<"] ";
		cin>>arr[i];
	}
	
	//print input elements
	cout<<"Unsorted Array elements:"<<endl;
	for(i=0;i<n;i++)
		cout<<arr[i]<<"\t";
	cout<<endl;
	
	//sorting - ASCENDING ORDER
	for(i=0;i<n;i++)
	{		
		for(j=i+1;j<n;j++)
		{
			if(arr[i]>arr[j])
			{
				temp  =arr[i];
				arr[i]=arr[j];
				arr[j]=temp;
			}
		}
	}
	
	//print sorted array elements
	cout<<"Sorted (Ascending Order) Array elements:"<<endl;
	for(i=0;i<n;i++)
		cout<<arr[i]<<"\t";
	cout<<endl;	
	
	
	return 0;
	
}

Example 6: stl sort in c++

sort(arr, arr+n); // sorts in ascending order
