Hi,

I'm in a basic C class and so far we've learned basic input/output, loops, arrays and in a question that we have to do. It requires us to take the inputted numbers and create the largest possible outcome.

For example,

4 (this is how many integers will be inputted)
123 124 56 90 (these are the integers inputted)
5
123 124 56 90 9
0 (termination - exit code)

output:
9056124123
99056124123

How can I achieve this? I've learned about basic bubble sort, but am I able to apply it to this?

Thanks

can you define more precisely what this means?

i'm unclear how to go from here:

123 124 56 90

to here:

9056124123

assuming you're just looking at the digits, the highest possible value would be:
9654322110

Input

Each input starts with a positive integer N (<= 50). In next lines there are N positive integers. Input is terminated by N = 0, which should not be processed.

Output

For each input set, you have to print the largest possible integer which can be made by appending all the N integers.

he wants to put the inputed sets of numbers into order highest to lowers and then concat them into one integer or string.

yes you can use bubble sort to do this and it's fairly easy.

to concat you can either use snprintf() or one of string.h concat functions. i personally like snprintf() because it takes away the chance of a buffer overflow and you can easly concat outputs of different functions and variables into one string.
