Hi all,

I'm trying to sort an array into ascending order using sortOrder but i'm not having much luck. Can anyone help? Where is the code going wrong? It's throwing the following error

\Ascending.java:4: invalid method declaration; return type required
public static sortOrder()
^
1 error

Tool completed with exit code 1

class Ascending
{
	//public static void main (String [] args)
	public static sortOrder()
	{

	int [] c = {9,8,4,2,7,1,6,3,5};


	for (sortOrder c : sortOrder.values())
		System.out.println(c);

	}

}

Well this is basic method name calling. You need to give it a return type.
It doesnt look like it is supposed to return anything so your would be void
Always needs one, if nothing then void, if return an int then int.
public static void sortOrder()

Hope this helps!

Yep that helped.
I now have this error. I've had this problem before with bubbleSort which I still haven't solved yet.

\Ascending.java:11: cannot find symbol
symbol : class sortOrder
location: class Ascending
for (sortOrder c : sortOrder.values())

^

Have to use a for loop traditional one. Here is an ineffecient bubble sort (there can be a effecient one but easier to type the unefficient one)

int temp;
for(int i =0; i<c.length; i++)
   for(int x = 0; x<c.length-1; x++)
		if(c[x] > c[x+1])
		   {temp = c[x];
			 c[x] = c[x+1];
			 c[x+1] = temp;
			}
