Sorting out the numbers in descending order

[MH4]

#include <iostream>

using namepace std;

void main (void){
int num1, num2, num3;

cout << "Enter 3 numbers: " << endl;
cin >> num1 >> num2 >> num3;

if ((num1 > num2) && (num1 > num3)){
if (num2 > num3){
cout << num1 << " " << num2 << " " << num3;
}
else {
cout << num1 << " " << num3 << " " << num2;
}
}

if ((num3 < num1) && (num3 < num2)){
if ((num3 > num2)) {
cout << num3 << " " << num2 << " " << num1;
}
else {
cout << num3 << " " << num1 << " " << num2;
}
}

if ((num2 > num1) && (num2 > num3)){
if ((num1 > num3)){
cout << num2 << " " << num1 << " " << num3;
}
else {
cout << num2 << " " << num3 << " " << num1;
}
}
}


^^
I'm new to c++ and wish to learn this subject and im trying to practice with my c++. I was given the task that requires input from the user and sorting it out in descending order. I thought the above code should work but it doesnt sort out the numbers. Could anyone give me a clue to where I've gone wrong?

You are entering the realm of sorting algorithms. There are plenty. Its actually an entire subject of its own. Since you are a beginner start with the "insertion sort algorithm" AVOID BUBBLESORT.

[MH4]

what do u mean by "insertion sort algorithm"?

[Sputnik]

Do you know anything about for loops, functions and arrays? You have to know about those to understand the code for sorting numbers in the order you want

[Sputnik]

#include <stdio.h>

/* shellsort: sort v[0]...v[n-1] into increasing order */
void shellsort(int v[], int n)
{
int gap, i, j, temp;
for (gap = n/2; gap > 0; gap /= 2)
for (i = gap; i < n; i++)
for (j=i-gap; j>=0 && v[j]>v[j+gap]; j-=gap) {
temp = v[j];
v[j] = v[j+gap];
v[j+gap] = temp;
}
}

int main (){
int array[10],i,j;
for (i=0;i<=9;i++)
scanf("%d",&array[i]);
shellsort(array, 10);
for (j=0;j<=9;j++)
printf("%d",array[j]);
}

There you go. Enjoy! And yes, its in C not C++

This should really only be attempted if you are very comfortable with for loops and basic shell sort algorithm. Otherwise, dont even try. Familiarize yourself with these first.

I have a basic understanding of loops, functions and arrays but i havent mastered them fully yet though. But thank you for telling me these stuffs. Im still trying to get a hang of it :)

Anyways the above code doesnt work sir. It just accepts the input numbers but doesnt print the numbers out in descending order. :(

oh wait nevermind i found my error and fixed it already thx
