Bubble sort in Java to sort numbers of an array in ascending/descending order.
Bubble sort program in Java
class BubbleSort {
public static void main(String []args) {
int n, c, d, swap;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Input number of integers to sort");
n = in.nextInt();
int array[] = new int[n];
System.out.println("Enter " + n + " integers");
for (c = 0; c < n; c++)
array[c] = in.nextInt();
for (c = 0; c < ( n - 1 ); c++) {
for (d = 0; d < n - c - 1; d++) {
if (array[d] > array[d+1]) /* For descending order use < */
{
swap = array[d];
array[d] = array[d+1];
array[d+1] = swap;
}
}
}
System.out.println("Sorted list of numbers:");
for (c = 0; c < n; c++)
System.out.println(array[c]);
}
}
The average-case complexity of bubble sort is O(n2). That's why programmers prefer other sorting algorithms over it.

You can also use sort method of Arrays class to sort integers in ascending order, but remember that the method uses a variation of Quicksort algorithm.
class Sort
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int data[] = { 4, -5, 2, 6, 1 };
Arrays.sort(data);
for (int c: data)
{
System.out.println(c);
}
}
}
