I've been working with data from a file and keeping them paired together. I need to sort the data alphabetically while keeping them paired together at the same time. I have successfully done it with bubble sort here:
for (int i = 1; i <= count; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < count - 1; j++)
{
if (email [j].compareToIgnoreCase (email [j + 1]) > 0)
{
temp1 = email [j];
email [j] = email [j + 1];
email [j + 1] = temp1;
temp2 = fname [j];
fname [j] = fname [j + 1];
fname [j + 1] = temp2;
temp3 = lname [j];
lname [j] = lname [j + 1];
lname [j + 1] = temp3;
temp4 = city [j];
city [j] = city [j + 1];
city [j + 1] = temp4;
temp5 = age [j];
age [j] = age [j + 1];
age [j + 1] = temp5;
}
}
}
}
I get an output like this: Email: bobbarley@gmail.com First Name: Bob Last Name: Barley City: Vancouver Age: 13 Email: felixfixed@gmail.com First Name: Felix Last Name: Fixed City: Boston Age: 24 Email: joejake@gmail.com First Name: Joe Last Name: Jake City: Toronto Age: 32
On the other hand I have an insertion sort, but I can't keep the data together. Here is my code:
for (int i = 1; i < count; i++)
{
String current = fname [i];
int j = i - 1;
while (j >= 0 && current.compareToIgnoreCase (fname [j]) < 0)
{
fname [j + 1] = fname [j];
j--;
}
fname [j + 1] = current;
}
With this part, I get this output:
First Name: Bob Last Name: Jake City: Toronto Age: 32 Email: joejake@gmail.com First Name: Felix Last Name: Barley City: Vancouver Age: 13 Email: bobbarley@gmail.com First Name: Joe Last Name: Fixed City: Boston Age: 24 Email: felixfixed@gmail.com
