how to sort an array js code example

Example 1: sorting array from highest to lowest javascript

// Sort an array of numbers 
let numbers = [5, 13, 1, 44, 32, 15, 500]

// Lowest to highest
let lowestToHighest = numbers.sort((a, b) => a - b);
//Output: [1,5,13,15,32,44,500]

//Highest to lowest
let highestToLowest = numbers.sort((a, b) => b-a);
//Output: [500,44,32,15,13,5,1]

Example 2: sort javascript array

var points = [40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10];
points.sort((a,b) => a-b)

Example 3: array sort js

arr = ['width', 'score', done', 'neither' ]
arr.sort() // results to ["done", "neither", "score", "width"]

arr.sort((a,b) => a.localeCompare(b)) 
// if a-b (based on their unicode values) produces a negative value, 
// a comes before b, the reverse if positive, and as is if zero

//When you sort an array with .sort(), it assumes that you are sorting strings
//. When sorting numbers, the default behavior will not sort them properly.
arr = [21, 7, 5.6, 102, 79]
arr.sort((a, b) => a - b) // results to [5.6, 7, 21, 79, 102]
// b - a will give you the reverse order of the sorted items 

//this explnation in not mine

Example 4: javascript sort

homes.sort(function(a, b) {
    return parseFloat(a.price) - parseFloat(b.price);
});

Example 5: javascript sort

homes.sort((a, b) => parseFloat(a.price) - parseFloat(b.price));

Example 6: how to sort an array

import java.util.Scanner;
public class JavaExample 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
    	int count, temp;
    	
    	//User inputs the array size
        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]);
    }
}
