How do you sort an array in decreasing order?

Answer Posted / Ritesh Kumar Jaiswal

You can perform any sorting algorithm and modify it slightly to sort an array in decreasing order. For example, for bubble sort:
1. Initialize the array as unsorted.
2. For each step i from 0 to len(array)-1:
a. For j from 0 to len(array)-i-1:
i) If array[j] > array[j+1]: swap array[j] and array[j+1].
The above pseudocode is similar to bubble sort, but it compares the larger value first before swapping. This ensures that the sorted array will be in decreasing order.
