    Default I need help with this array

    My program is about generating random numbers in an array and sort them.
    I am wishing that i could do bubble sort ,selection sort, insertion sort, and shell sort in this program. Its okay if i had to redo the whole program just as long as you guys help me. I need to show the output of the bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, and shell sort individually, as i would be comparing their run time in sorting.




    import java.util.Arrays;
    import java.util.*;

    public class Sorting {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Random randomGenerator = new Random();
    for (int idx = 1; idx <= 10; ++idx) {
    int arrayList[] = {randomGenerator.nextInt(100)};
    int i;

    for (i = 0; i < arrayList.length; i++) {
    System.out.print(arrayList[i] + " ");
    }
    System.out.println();


    }
    }
    }



    I am to much of a beginner to figure it out my self

    Please use code highlighting, that is not readable.

    I don't see any sorting in your code. What's your problem?

    Nobody here will do it for you. Read wikipedia about the sorting alogorithms and post your best attempt and come back with specific questions.
    In the various announcements and in my signature you can read about code highlighting.

    int arrayList[] = {randomGenerator.nextInt(100)};
    What is that line supposed to do? Are you trying to create an array? If so, that is not correct as the nextInt method returns a single int and you are trying to assign it to a variable that should reference an array. Also why are you doing it inside the loop. This means a new array will be created each time aroundd the loop. I imagine you only want to create the array once.

    Another thing it appears you have the second loop inside the first. This means that each time around the loop you will print out the entire contents of the array. I imagine you will want to print the array once after it has been sorted.

    Plenty to fix before you even think about sorting.

    import java.util.*;

    public class Sorting {
    private static int temp;

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    Random randNumGenerator = new Random();
    int[] arrayList = new int[10];
    for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.length; i++) {
    arrayList[i] = (randNumGenerator.nextInt(100) + 1);
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.length; i++) {
    System.out.print(arrayList[i] + " ");
    }
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(CrunchifyBubble SortAsceMethod(arrayList)));



    for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.length - 1; i++) {
    int minIndex = i;
    for (int j = i + 1; j < arrayList.length; j++) {
    if (arrayList[minIndex] > arrayList[j]) {
    minIndex = j;
    }
    }
    if (minIndex != i) {

    int temp = arrayList[i];
    arrayList[i] = arrayList[minIndex];
    arrayList[minIndex] = temp;
    }
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.length; i++) {
    System.out.print(arrayList[i] + " ");

    }
    System.out.println();
    for (int i = 1; i < arrayList.length; i++) {
    for (int j = i; j > 0; j--) {
    if (arrayList[j] < arrayList[j - 1]) {
    temp = arrayList[j];
    arrayList[j] = arrayList[j - 1];
    arrayList[j - 1] = temp;
    }
    }
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.length; i++) {
    System.out.print(arrayList[i] + " ");

    }
    System.out.println();



    }


    public static int[] CrunchifyBubbleSortAsceMethod(int[] arr) {
    int temp;
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++) {

    for (int j = 1; j < arr.length - i; j++) {
    if (arr[j - 1] > arr[j]) {
    temp = arr[j - 1];
    arr[j - 1] = arr[j];
    arr[j] = temp;
    }
    }

    }
    return arr;
    }
    }

    Hi Yutenio and welcome to the forum.
    Please see the Announcements page for help with code tags.

    A search engine is the place to find things. This is a place to ask questions.
    Looks like you come prepared with your own set of search keywords: bubble,selection,insertion,and shell sort
    See what you can find and ask a question when you get stuck.
