I created this insertion sort for a data structures and algorithms about a year ago. I was using visual studio 2008 now i am using 2010. I wanted to use the sort in something else but when I run the code it sorts the highest number as -898583932 or something close to that. Any ideas what might be causing that? Here is my code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
void insertionSort(int array[], int last){
int hold;
int walker;
int current;
for (current = 1; current <= last; current++){
hold = array[current];
for (walker = current - 1;
walker >= 0 && hold < array[walker]; walker--){
array[walker + 1] = array[walker];
}
array[walker + 1] = hold;
}
return;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int numbers[10];
int i;
srand(time(NULL));
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++){
numbers[i] = rand() % 100;
}
printf("Unsorted Numbers\n-------- -------\n");
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++){
printf("%d,", numbers[i]);
}
insertionSort(numbers, 10);
printf("\nSorted Numbers\n-------- -------\n");
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++){
printf("%d,", numbers[i]);
}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
That strangely large negative number probably has something to do with this:
for (current = 1; current <= last; current++){
hold = array[current];
You should be more careful with those indices.
You will find the error on this line:
for (current = 1; current <= last; current++){
