how to sort an array in decreasing order in java code example
Example 1: how to sort an array
import java.util.Scanner;
public class JavaExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int count, temp;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number of elements you want in the array: ");
count = scan.nextInt();
int num[] = new int[count];
System.out.println("Enter array elements:");
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
num[i] = scan.nextInt();
}
scan.close();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
for (int j = i + 1; j < count; j++) {
if (num[i] > num[j])
{
temp = num[i];
num[i] = num[j];
num[j] = temp;
}
}
}
System.out.print("Array Elements in Ascending Order: ");
for (int i = 0; i < count - 1; i++)
{
System.out.print(num[i] + ", ");
}
System.out.print(num[count - 1]);
}
}
Example 2: sorting array in descending order java
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
public class SortExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Integer[] arr = {13, 7, 6, 45, 21, 9, 2, 100};
Arrays.sort(arr, Collections.reverseOrder());
System.out.printf("Modified arr[] : %s",
Arrays.toString(arr));
}
}
