First let you explain how you will do it
A::Sir, I will do it with bubble sort .He said explain.
I said that first of all we'll check whether the first no is greater than second and so on. But i struck somewhere then i said i'll explain it with the help of program .I wrote the code as follows.

int temp;
int a[20];
for(int j=0 ;n>j;j++)
for(int i=0 ;n-j>i;i++)
if(a[i]>a[i+1])
{ temp=a[i];
a[i]=a[i+1];
a[i+1]=temp;
}
}

Now He said ok.
Q:: any question?
A::When I'll come to know that I have been selected?He replied Very Soon.
Then he said OK you may leave now.
I said Thankyou!

Fourth interview:
