Array in ascending order in C

Array in ascending order in C

Problem statement
Given an array, sort in ascending order.

Solution

Use two for loops, Outer for loop for preserving index and the element at that index and inner one to iterate over remaining array.

for (i = 0; i < n; ++i){
   for (j = i + 1; j < n; ++j){
      if (num[i] > num[j]){
         a = num[i];
         num[i] = num[j];
         num[j] = a;
      }
   }
}

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int num[20];
    int i, j, a, n;
    printf("Enter array limit:\n");
    scanf("%d", &n);
    if (n > 20)
    {
        printf("Array limit out of range!");
        return 0;
    }
    printf("Enter array elements:\n");
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
        scanf("%d", &num[i]);
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    {
        for (j = i + 1; j < n; ++j)
        {
            if (num[i] > num[j])
            {
                a = num[i];
                num[i] = num[j];
                num[j] = a;
            }
        }
    }
    printf("Array sorted in ascending order:\n");
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    {
        printf("%d\t", num[i]);
    }
    return 0;
}
