CPTR-241 Homework #6 for Wednesday 1/24/18


1) Re-write the "Try This 5-1 Bubble Sort" program on page 141 of the text to sort an array of strings. String zero in the array should end up having the shortest string and the highest numbered string should end up with the longest string. The program needs to print out the original set of strings before sorting and then print them out again after printing. You can hardcode the strings into your program. There should be 6 strings or more.

From this day forward you are required to have a "header" at the top of any source code that includes these items: class, assignment number, date, your name, short problem description. If the program depends on a data file or other resource being available that should be identified as well (some programmers would put this information under a label of input). A category of output can be helpful if the program is sending data to more than just the local screen.

Note that the assignment is to write your own code for this rather than possibly finding a method in a library or some other persons code to do this.

2) On Wednesday we will look at Chapter 6 material, i.e. Access Modifiers, Passing Objects to/from methods, and Method Overloading. Thus reading in Chapter 6 is appropriate.
