: : In the project specification it says we must make functions to make comparisons and swaps. I wrote a swap function, but I used a counter to be incremented before comparisons. Is this OK?
: personally, i dont particularly care, but if the specification says you should write a function, u should probably write a function ...
You are eventually going to have to swap the values, how are you going to change the array around if you are just making comparisons? I think that sentence in the specifications was poorly worded... It's pointless to write a function that does the comparisions and another to do the swaps (which will need the comparisons anyway).
