I am trying to create a for
loop for my bubble sort algorithm and use break
as a condition if there are no more numbers to be sorted anymore. But then the compiler complains:
Error: BREAK not allowed
Here is part of my code:
Procedure Sort(var data : arr; j : integer);
var
temp: integer;
begin
temp := data[j];
data[j] := data[j + 1];
data[j + 1] := temp;
end;
Procedure sortDescending(var data : arr; n : integer);
var
i, j : integer;
marker : boolean;
begin
for i := 1 to n do
marker := false;
begin
for j := 1 to n do
begin
if(data[j] < data[j + 1]) then
begin
Sort(data, j);
marker := true;
end;
end;
if(marker = false) then
begin
break;
end;
end;
end;
Here's your code.
for i := 1 to n do marker := false; begin for j := 1 to n do begin if(data[j] < data[j + 1]) then begin Sort(data, j); marker := true; end; end; if(marker = false) then begin break; end; end;
Let's add some whitespace after loops and indentation to make the issue clearer.
for i := 1 to n do
marker := false;
begin
for j := 1 to n do
begin
if (data[j] < data[j + 1]) then
begin
Sort(data, j);
marker := true;
end;
end;
if (marker = false) then
begin
break;
end;
end;
Which is equivalent to:
for i := 1 to n do
marker := false;
for j := 1 to n do
begin
if (data[j] < data[j + 1]) then
begin
Sort(data, j);
marker := true;
end;
end;
if (marker = false) then
begin
break;
end;
The break
is not within a loop.
You likely meant to put begin
before marker := false;
.
for i := 1 to n do
begin
marker := false;
for j := 1 to n do
begin
if (data[j] < data[j + 1]) then
begin
Sort(data, j);
marker := true;
end;
end;
if (marker = false) then
begin
break;
end;
end;
