I have been working on a program that requires me to use bubble,insertion, and selection sort. My program runs without any compiler errors. I have printed out the total number of comparisons but I am having trouble trying to print out the array values for bubble,insertion, and selection sort. I tried different ways to do it but it does not show anything on the compiler screen. I was wondering whether you guys could help me come up with an effective way to print out all the float array and int array values for bubble, insertion, and selection.

At first what I did was something like this in the main:
ex.
BubbleSort(int_array, numValues);

cout << "Here is sorted integer array: ";
for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
cout << float_array << ' ';
cout << endl;

That printed nothing to the output screen.

Any kind of help on how to actually print array values will be very helpful. Thanks

The algorithm for displaying an array doesn't change from one scope to another. You already do it in your main() with your (what I will call) "preview" loops. All you have to do is replicate that structure in the appropriate location for where you want the array displayed.

To make it even simpler, you could move the structure to a templated "displayArray()" function and just call that function instead of replicating the structure over and over.
