Question

Could the sorting algorithm start out as if then else situation?

Answer 1

Yes we can use if else to sort

example a program sorting three number using if and else condition

//C++ program

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
   int a,b,c;
  
   cout<<"Enter three numbers : ";
   cin>>a>>b>>c;
  
   if (a < b) {
       if (a < c){
           if (b < c) cout<<a<<" "<<b<<" "<<c<<endl;
           else cout<<a<<" "<<c<<" "<<b<<endl;
       }
       else cout<<c<<" "<<a<<" "<<b<<endl;

   }
   else{
       if (b < c) {
           if (a < c)
               cout<<b<<" "<<a<<" "<<c<<endl;
           else
               cout<<b<<" "<<c<<" "<<a<<endl;
       }
       else
           cout<<c<<" "<<b<<" "<<a<<endl;   
   }
   return 0;

}
