U should check in bubble function And one more thing as you can see that you need a data structure which sort the whole array at every iteration for decrementing input integer , so it will be better choice to use priority queue :wink:
if you still face difficulty then you can go through this

what should be the output?

Output should be
43
7
8
But your code is giving this
43
5
6
Hope you are getting this :slight_smile:

i asked to phantom not you.
for that output i sorted the initial input and then got the expected answer.
anyway thanx
