sort array in ascending order 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: sorting program in c

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
   /* Here i & j for loop counters, temp for swapping,
    * count for total number of elements, number[] to
    * store the input numbers in array. You can increase
    * or decrease the size of number array as per requirement
    */
   int i, j, count, temp, number[25];

   printf("How many numbers u are going to enter?: ");
   scanf("%d",&count);

   printf("Enter %d elements: ", count);
   // Loop to get the elements stored in array
   for(i=0;i<count;i++)
      scanf("%d",&number[i]);
 
   // Logic of selection sort algorithm
   for(i=0;i<count;i++){
      for(j=i+1;j<count;j++){
         if(number[i]>number[j]){
            temp=number[i];
            number[i]=number[j];
            number[j]=temp;
         }
      }
   }

   printf("Sorted elements: ");
   for(i=0;i<count;i++)
      printf(" %d",number[i]);

   return 0;
}

Example 3: string sort javascript

var names = ["Peter", "Emma", "Jack", "Mia"];
var sorted = names.sort(); // ["Emma", "Jack", "Mia", "Peter"]

Example 4: how to sort array least to greatest javascript stACK

function sortArray(array) {
  var temp = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
    for (var j = i; j < array.length; j++) {
      if (array[j] < array[i]) {
        temp = array[j];
        array[j] = array[i];
        array[i] = temp;
      }
    }
  }
  return array;
}

console.log(sortArray([3,1,2]));
