I am trying to learn different algorithms such as Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, Mergesort... The problem is that my Java is very noobish. I am hoping to get some assistance with getting started with the code so that I can start playing with algorithms over and over again. I have made a basic array but I am still learnig Eclipse and having some difficulties. Is there some code out there that I can use to start playing with algorithms? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I hope that this is an acceptable place to post this as I am new to on-line communitites.

Thanks,

Doug

A good jumping off point for sorting algorithms is here, and each will have some Java examples. Should at least have links to suitable Java examples.

Until you have a firm grip of the language, don't use IDE's like Eclipse as you won't learn the language as well. Use Notepad or Notepad++, I personally use DrJava it just does syntax highlighting and compiling, no suggestions, autofilling, etc.

I have tutorials on Selection, Bubble, and Insertion sorts if you want to check them out:

http://www.dreaminco...ing-bubblesort/
http://www.dreaminco...insertion-sort/

once you understand the principles of each sort, it's not hard at all to apply it to code

for the record: if you choose to go the notepad route (which I suggest just starting off) I have a blog post on how to compile your programs via command prompt

reason for edit: to be vain, lol
