Can someone please help me out!!!I included what I have so far.
*Purpose
Implement a Java-method with three local int variables a, b, c, d and e that sorts these three values in ascending order by comparing and exchanging their values. At the end of the program a <= b <= c <= d <= e must hold.
I think you need to suggest some code first for us to comment on.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Q3 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
int A,B,C,D;
String result;
Scanner reader= new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter value A : ");
A=reader.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter value B :");
B=reader.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter value C :");
C=reader.nextInt();
if (A>B)
D=A;
A=B;
B=D;
{
System.out.println("Results is ");
}
}
}
Sure, I can help you with that!
To sort the three values in ascending order, you can follow these steps:
1. Declare and initialize five local int variables: a, b, c, d, and e.
2. Compare a with b and swap their values if a > b.
3. Compare b with c and swap their values if b > c.
4. Compare c with d and swap their values if c > d.
5. Compare d with e and swap their values if d > e.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 until no more swaps are necessary.
7. At the end of the program, the values will be sorted in ascending order.
Here's an example code snippet that implements the above steps:
```java
public class SortAscending {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 5;
int b = 2;
int c = 9;
int d = 1;
int e = 7;
int temp;
// Compare and swap values to sort in ascending order
while (true) {
boolean swapped = false;
if (a > b) {
temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
swapped = true;
}
if (b > c) {
temp = b;
b = c;
c = temp;
swapped = true;
}
if (c > d) {
temp = c;
c = d;
d = temp;
swapped = true;
}
if (d > e) {
temp = d;
d = e;
e = temp;
swapped = true;
}
if (!swapped) {
break; // Exit the loop if no more swaps were made
}
}
System.out.println("Sorted values: " + a + " " + b + " " + c + " " + d + " " + e);
}
}
```
In this example, the initial values of a, b, c, d, e are hard-coded, but you can modify the code to read input from the user or supply your own values.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
