swift
Parameters: inputArray: [Int]
Takes an array of integers as input.
Returns: Returns sorted array in descending order.
The sortArrayDesc function uses the sort() function in Swift, sorting the input array in descending order, so that the highest element comes first.
Greetings, Fellow Programmer. Welcome to our newest blog post. In the lines to follow, we'll be unraveling the mysteries of sorting arrays in descending order using Swift. The function we will explore serves to reorder elements from the largest to the smallest. We hope you're ready to embark on this journey with us to hone your Swift programming skills. Enjoy the post and happy coding!
In the first step, we need to initialize an array with elements. The array can include any number of elements of any type but for the purpose of demonstration, we will use an array of integers.
var array = [2, 11, 1, 7, 3]
Now, we need to define the sorting function. The Swift language has a function called sorted(by:). It sorts an array according to the conditions specified.
func sortArrayDesc(array: [Int]) -> [Int] {
let sortedArray = array.sorted(by: >)
return sortedArray
}
In order to sort our array, we need to invoke our function and pass our array as an argument.
let sortedArray = sortArrayDesc(array: array)
Let's print out the sorted array to ensure our function is working properly.
print(sortedArray)
In conclusion, this method allows you to sort any array in descending order. Below is the full implementation code.
var array = [2, 11, 1, 7, 3]
func sortArrayDesc(array: [Int]) -> [Int] {
let sortedArray = array.sorted(by: >)
return sortedArray
}
let sortedArray = sortArrayDesc(array: array)
print(sortedArray) // Prints: [11, 7, 3, 2, 1]
This function sorts elements of an array in descending order.
