Bubble sort on randomized integers

[bellevie]

Hi all,

Apologies in advance - I've just started to learn python and am struggling to grasp it so my question will be at a very "noobish" level.

Basically, I want to generate a random set of integers and then perform a bubble sort on those integers.

I have already implemented two separate programs - one that generates random integers, and one that performs a bubble sort on a specified list (code below) but I need to join them
somehow and this is where I'm lost.

If someone could kindly help me (in layman's terms) it'd be greatly appreciated  

Random no. generator:

import random

def random_ints(num, lower=0, upper=100):
    return [random.randrange(lower,upper+1) for i in range(num)]
 
print random_ints(10)

Bubble sort:

 def bubbleSort(listLetters):  
    for passnum in range(len(listLetters)-1,0,-1):
        for i in range(passnum):
            if listLetters[i]>listLetters[i+1]:
                temp = listLetters[i]
                listLetters[i] = listLetters[i+1]
                listLetters[i+1] = temp                
                                                       
listLetters = ['B', 'A', 'E', 'D', 'C', 'F',]
bubbleSort(listLetters)
print(listLetters)

Well your code seems to work fine so is your question how to import one into the other?

[bellevie]

Basically yes. The bubble sort code above is on another list 'listLetters' but I want to perform a bubble on a randomly generated set of numbers. But I'm lost on how to merge (?) or as you said, import one into the other.

So if they are in the same file it is trivial and looks like this:

Hide/Show

import random


def random_ints(num, lower=0, upper=100):
    return [random.randrange(lower,upper+1) for i in range(num)]


def bubbleSort(sequence):  
    for passnum in range(len(sequence)-1, 0, -1):
        for i in range(passnum):
            if sequence[i] > sequence[i+1]:
                sequence[i], sequence[i+1] = sequence[i+1], sequence[i]               



some_numbers = random_ints(10)
print(some_numbers)
bubbleSort(some_numbers)
print(some_numbers) 

But if they are separate files let's create two files for these functions (and nothing else) and place them in the same directory.

randy.py

import random


def random_ints(num, lower=0, upper=100):
    return [random.randrange(lower,upper+1) for i in range(num)]

and bubble.py

def bubbleSort(sequence):  
    for passnum in range(len(sequence)-1, 0, -1):
        for i in range(passnum):
            if sequence[i] > sequence[i+1]:
                sequence[i], sequence[i+1] = sequence[i+1], sequence[i] 

Now create one more file in that directory to test them called example.py

import randy
import bubble


some_numbers = randy.random_ints(10)
print(some_numbers)
bubble.bubbleSort(some_numbers)
print(some_numbers) 

And run that file.

You should see something similar to the following:

Output:
[96, 64, 92, 50, 94, 4, 100, 65, 72, 51]
[4, 50, 51, 64, 65, 72, 92, 94, 96, 100]

Mekire - thanks so much! your response was really helpful and I understand it now
