    Default Fill & sort an array

    Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for your time. I want this program to generate user defined amount of random number between 0-999 and then sort them in ascending order. It works properly without the bubble sort, but when i add the bubble sort it gives me a ridiculous output. like below

    Output

    Please Enter the amount of random numbers you want to generate : 2

    229
    Sorted array
    229
    891
    Sorted array
    891

    ///////////////////


    Output I need

    Please Enter the amount of random numbers you want to generate : 3

    229
    45
    251

    Sorted array

    45
    229
    251




    My code so far
    package random;
     
    import java.util.Random;
     
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Main {
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
     
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.print("Please Enter the amount of random numbers you want to generate :");
     
            int input = in.nextInt();
     
            Random dice = new Random();
            int number;
     
            for (int counter = 1; counter <= input; counter++) {
                number = 1 + dice.nextInt(999);// Randomly generated values between 0-999
     
     
                {
                    int nums[] = {number}; // Passing randomly generated values to array
     
     
     
     
     
                    int size = nums.length;
     
                    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
                        System.out.println(nums[i]);// Display original array
                    }
     
     
     
    // Sorting 
     
                    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
     
                        for (int j = i + 1; j < size; j++) {
     
                            if (nums[i] < nums[j]) {
     
                                int temp = nums[i];
                                nums[i] = nums[j];
                                nums[j] = temp;
                            }
                        }
                    }
     
                    //Display sorted array
     
                    System.out.println("Sorted array");
                    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
                        System.out.println("" + nums[i]);
                    }
                    System.out.println();

    Default Re: Fill & sort an array

    You need to look at how you first generate random numbers and fill your array.

    You simply generate one number, create a new array with the number, sort the array, then do the same thing again.

    You should change your algorithm,

    get number of values
    while i is less than no:
          add new random to array
          i + 1
    end while
     
    sort array
