guys i need help here, what do i do to my code inorder to prompt the
user to enter any 10 integer values then display them in ascending
order?

#include<stdio. h>
#define SIZE 10

main()
{
int i;
int pass;//pass counter
int hold;//
long a[SIZE]={12,451,56,205 ,450,78,90,67,4 5,100};


//printf("Enter 10 integer values\n\n");

printf("\nEleme nts in original array\n\n");

for(i=0;i<SIZE; i++){
printf("%4d",a[i]);
}

printf("\n\n");

//pass counter
for(pass=0;pass <SIZE;pass++) {

for(i=0;i<SIZE-1;i++){

if(a[i]>a[i+1]){
hold=a[i];
a[i]=a[i+1];
a[i+1]=hold;
}//endif
}//end inner for
}//end outer for

printf("Element s in ascending order\n\n");

for(i=0;i<SIZE; i++){
printf("%4d",a[i]);
}//endfor
printf("\n\n");
}
the program is working as it is...... my email address is real too.

Your program is working by sheer luck! You use an int as a temporary
storage to swap two longs. This may not give you the results you expect
(think what happens if long is wider than int, and your numbers exceed
MAXINT).

To prompt user, use printf() to output the prompt, fgets() (NOT gets())
to collect the line entered, and sscanf() to parse it for number
entered. Wrap this in a nice loop, and you're all set...

PS
My e-mail address is real as well, but that's highly off-topic in
c.l.c. ;-)

In some loop, use a fgets() to accept a line of text and strtol() to
convert the text to a number. Store the values in some array.

Then, sort the array and display it.

Do your best an post your code if you are stuck.
