how to bubble sort an array in c# code example

Example 1: bubble sort c#

using System;

namespace BubbleSort {
   class Sorting {
      static void Main(string[] args) {
         int[] mixdata = { 56, 23, 2, 86, 45, 102 };
         int temp;

         for (int j = 0; j <= mixdata.Length - 2; j++) {
            for (int i = 0; i <= mixdata.Length - 2; i++) {
               if (mixdata[i] > mixdata[i + 1]) {
                  temp= mixdata[i + 1];
                  mixdata[i + 1] = mixdata[i];
                  mixdata[i] = temp;
               }
            }
         }

         Console.WriteLine("Bubble sort data:");
         foreach (int p in mixdata)
         Console.Write(p + " ");
         Console.Read();
      }
   }
}

Example 2: c# bubble sort string array

You can use string.Compare(x,y) instead of <, which returns 0 if the string are equal, otherwise an integer that indicates their relative position in the sort order

    for (int index = 0; index < (letters.Length - 1); index++)
    {
        if (string.Compare (letters[index], letters[index + 1]) < 0) //if first number is greater then second then swap
        {
            //swap

            temp = letters[index];
            letters[index] = letters[index + 1];
            letters[index + 1] = temp;
            swap = true;
        }
    }
If you want to ignore case during the comparison, you should use string.Compare (letters[index], letters[index + 1], true)
