An array is a collection of logically related data items, where each item can either be accessed in a sequential order, or through supplying its index position.Consider this:
Here we declare an index of dimension 5, which later on, comes to store six names, as, an index in an array starts at 0.
Then
for loops dumps entire array onto HTML page. People familiar with for() {.} loop of JavaScript will notice that for.next loop of VBScript is less cryptic.
Since now we have learnt how to create a VBScript array, let us try to sort this array. We'll sort array in ascending order, that is, from lowest to top most in alphabetical array.
So what's logic?
1. Compare first name with second name 2. If second name is lower than first name, then swap 3. else 4. Compare first name with third name 5. If third name is lower than first name, then swap 6. else 7. Compare first name with fourth name 8. If fourth name is lower than first name, then swap 9. else 10. Compare first name with fifth name 11. If fifth name is lower than first name, then swap
So by time we have reached 11th step, we have lowest name at first position.
The second round starts at second index index, as first we already know is lowest.
1. Compare second name with third name 2. If third name is lower than second name, then swap 3. else 4. Compare second name with fourth name
and so on
I hope you've understood logic now. Let's see how it looks programmatically:
