bubble sort is making up its own number

[dthunderchunky]

i cant figure out what im doing wrong with my bubble sort. when i cout the sorted test scores, the first number(testScore[0]) is always wrong after the sort, thank you for the help.this is the code.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int i;
int j;

int testScore[5];
int count;

for (count = 0; count < 5; count++)
{
cout<< "Enter the 5 test scores "
<< (count + 1 ) << ":";
cin >> testScore[count];
}

cout << "the test scores you entered are:" << endl;
for (count = 0; count < 5; count++)
{
cout<< " " << testScore[count];
cout << endl;
}

for(i = 0; i<= 4; i++)
{
for (j = i+1; j<= 5; j++)
{
int hold = 0;

if(testScore[i] > testScore[j])
{
hold = testScore[i];
testScore[i] = testScore[j];
testScore[j] = hold;
}
}
}

cout << "The test scores from lowest to highest are:" << endl;

for (count = 0; count < 5; count++)
{
cout<< " " << testScore[count];
cout << endl;
}

system ("pause");

0}

It is because you are reading an element which is after the last element of your array, and therefore undefined.

Programming isn't magic, and if you learn to use a debugger you won't have to ask questions like this.
