Ok... Got a lab to generate 150 random numbers and then sort the 1st 50 by BUBBLE SORT, the 2nd 50 by SHELL SORT, and the 3rd 50 by SELECTION SORT. After I get those three to work correctly then I need to MERGE SORT the three of them together.

I've got the 150 random numbers and the bubble sort working, but the shell & selection are off....
I'm sure I have issues with the merge as well but I guess I'll worry about that after the three lists are correct.

ANy ideas/suggestions?

First off:

void main( )

that's bad, you should use

int main()

This is also bad:

for (int x = i; x < 50; x++)

you shouldn't implicity hard-code these values, it should be the SIZE of the array and not 50 (even though your array length is 50) .. What if more values are added?

EDIT: Just re-read the function, my bad.

Bump...Bump...

commented: Bumping is rude, given that you were still on page 1 -2

Ok, I've made progress. The BUBBLE, SHELL, and SELECTION SORTS all work and create three new sorted arrays (ArraySort_Bub[ ],ArraySort_She[ ], ArraySort_Sel[ ]). Now I need to MERGE SORT the three sorted arrays into a new sorted array. My MERGE SORT seems to have issues and outputs crap...

Any ideas/comments?

}

So it looks like you're not actually doing a full merge sort, you're just merging together three arrays that are already sorted. Really the only tricky part of this is taking what you know about merging two arrays and extending it into three. Here's a two way merge:

int dst[size * 2], n = 0;

while (i < size && j < size) {
    if (a[i] <= b[j])
        dst[n++] = a[i++];
    else
        dst[n++] = b[j++];
}

while (i < size) dst[n++] = a[i++];
while (j < size) dst[n++] = b[j++];

I'll let you take a shot at doing the three way merge, but there are three steps:

  1. Find the smallest item from the three arrays until one of them is exhausted.
  2. Perform a two way merge on the remaining two arrays until one of them is exhausted.
  3. Exhaust the remaining array, if there are still items.

That means you're essentially taking a two way merge and adding a preliminary three way merge until there are two arrays left. So something like this:

while (i < size && j < size && k < size) {
    if (a[i] <= b[j] && a[i] <= c[k])
        dst[n++] = a[i++];
    else if (b[j] <= a[i] && b[j] < c[k])
        dst[n++] = b[j++];
    else
        dst[n++] = c[k++];
}

After that it's a simple matter to determine which array was exhausted and perform a two way merge on the remaining two arrays.

Got it working merging 2 lists ok.
3 lists almost works.. Sometimes it has random incorrect numbers in the sorted list (like -82341)?

Going to class - will check back later

I think I've got it - more to come once I clean it up and confirm...

Seems that I'm off on the merge sort by a smidge.... Oh so close!
Sometimes I run it and the output is perfect!
Other times I run it and one array fills in the last 2 - 3 items put they aren't in sorted order.

Here's the entire code one last time.

I'll try to attach the screen shots...
