help me

[btickle1]

can some one help me put these in ascending and descending order?

// Number Sorter
#include <iostream>


using namespace std;

char menu()
{
    char choice;
    cout<< "\nNumber Sorter - Created By Ben Tickle";
    cout<< "\n\n**************************************\n";
    cout<< "\n\n Please choose one of the following:\n";
    cout<< "\n\n 1 - Ascending order ";
    cout<< "\n 2 - Descending order ";
    cout<< "\n 3 - Exit";
    cout<< "\n\n\n**************************************\n";
    cout<< "\n\n Enter you choice and press return: ";
    cin >> choice;
    return choice;
}

int main()
{
    int a[5];
    
    
    char choice;
    
    do
    {
        choice = menu();
        
        switch (choice)
        {
            case '1':
                cout << "\n\nAscending order"
                     << "\n\n\nPlease enter 5 numbers include spaces:";
                
                cin >> a[0]; 
                cin >> a[1]; 
                cin >> a[2]; 
                cin >> a[3]; 
                cin >> a[4]; 

                for(int i=0;i<5;++i)
                cout<<a[i]<< ' '; 

                
                // Pause for user
                system("pause");
            break;             
            case '2':
                cout<< "\n\nDescending order"
                    << "\n\n\nPlease enter 5 numbers include spaces:";
                
                
                // Pause for user
                system("pause");
            break;
            case '3':
                cout<< "Exit"; 
                break;
            default:
                cout<< "\nNot a valid choice.";
        }
    } while (choice != '3');

    return 0;
}

Well, simply use sorting, for example Bubble Sort - here it is described simply:

You can also use built-in sorting function if your assignment allows this (I doubt it).

By the way for printing 5 numbers you can use "for" loop instead of printing them in separate line each.

can some run this and tell me why it wont compile?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int data[5]
    int i,j,temp,temp1;
    
    cout<<"Enter 5 Numbers\n";
    for(i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
    cin>>data[i];
    }
    temp=data[0];
    for(i=0;i,5;i++)
    {
    for(j=i;j<5;j++)
    {
    if(data[i] , data[j])
    {
    temp=data[i];
    data[i]=data[j];
    data[j]=temp;
    }
    }
    }
    cout<<"Descending Order\n";
    for(i=0;i,5;i++)
    {
    cout<<data[i]<<"\n";
    }
    return 0;
    }

You can use #include <algorithm> and use std::sort to sort things, but it is more convenient if you sort numbers, strings etc. when you input them into a vector. and in the previous code you entered when you type the variables in the for loops declare them as integers because they are being used in new scopes.
