What wrong with my code

[NoobUser]

Im in my first semester of computer and c++ is my first language so forgive me if I dont use correct terminology. Anyways when I run my code it does what i want it to do, but it also has extra number after the text I want to show.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
void bubbleSort(int *, int );
void bubbleSort(float *, float);
void bubbleSort(char *, char);
void printElements(int *,int );
void printElements(float *,float );
void printElements(char *,char );

int main (){
int size, i, num[100];
float num1[100];
char letter[100];



cout << "Enter how many interger you want:"<< endl;

cin >> size;

cout << "Enter that amount of numbers: " << endl;



for( i = 0; i <size; i++){

cin >> num[i];

bubbleSort(num , size);
}




size = 0;

cout << "How many decimals do you want: " << endl;

cin >> size;

cout << "Enter that amount"<<endl;



for( i = 0; i <size; i++){

cin >> num1[i];

bubbleSort(num1 ,size);
}

size= 0;

cout << "How many letter do you want: " << endl;

cin >> size ;

cout<<"Enter that amount:"<< endl;

for( i = 0; i <size; i++){

cin >> letter[i];

bubbleSort(letter,size);
}

printElements(num,size);
printElements(num1,size);
printElements(letter,size);

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

void bubbleSort(int *x, int length) {
int i,j;
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<i;j++)
{
if(x[i]>x[j])
{
int temp=x[i];
x[i]=x[j];
x[j]=temp;
}
}
}
}

void bubbleSort(float *x, float length) {

{

cout << endl;
}

{

}

Perhaps explain the objective of your project? I'm relatively new as well and have come to learn that, no matter how vast or little the amount of code is, always remember to document the objective and tasks of your program. By doing so, you don't have to decipher the code when you look at it 6 months from now and others don't have to do so as well.

For ease of reading, please use code tags (at the right under Format:) and indent your code! Also, comments would be appreciated.

I don't know what you mean by an "extra number." Please post the program's output. Read the comments I've added (in green). They should be a start. I'll look some more into the code and try to see what you mean.

void printElements(float *,float );	// You declare "size" as an int in [code]main[/main], but seem to use it
void printElements(char *,char );	// as an int, a float, and a char.
					// While this may work in your compiler,
                                        // it won't always work, and I'd recommend changing the arguments
                                        // so that each printElements function's second argument is an int
                                        // Do the same with each bubbleSort

I'm impressed that you understand bubble sorting if this is truly your first experience with programming. See comments in your code, and post your output. I'll get back with why I think it's printing an extra number.

For professionalism's sake, you also may want to spell-check your "cout" statements.


EDIT: each printElements function is independent of the "size" variable. They only print out the first 10 elements of each array. To fix this, change the for loop's iteration line: instead of for(i = 0; i < 10; i++), it should probably read: for(i = 0; i < length; i++).

Your code is also difficult to decipher because of the lack of unique argument names. In general, give each function's arguments unique names - and create unique variables for each (i.e. don't use "size" for all of your functions). Hope this helps

EDIT 2.0: @toum: noted and removed. Thanks for clearing that up

@trojansdestroy: you are wrong about the missing brackets. When the instruction after a if/for/while is a one-liner, it's allowed to omit them.

The problem in the code is indeed the fact the loops always do 10 iterations no matter what the array length is.

I also see 2 stylistic problems:
- The sorting algorithm used in bubbleSort() is not the Bubble Sort algorithm. It's more of a variant of Insertion Sort.
- bubbleSort() should not be called until all the values have been input. The function call should be put outside the for loop (an easy way to do that is to remove the brackets).
