Comparing Numbers
Able to sequence an arbitrary array of numbers in ascending and descending order.
Ascending order
Ascending order is arranging numbers from smallest to biggest.
EXAMPLE
4278 4875 4923 4717
Since the digits at the thousandth place are same in all the numbers, we compare the digits at the hundredth place.
Thus, the numbers in ascending order is,
4278 < 4717 < 4875 < 4923.
4278, 4717, 4875, 4923.
Descending order
Descending order means arranging numbers from biggest to smallest.
EXAMPLE
5234, 6271, 4234, 5172, 4871
Thus, the number in descending order is,
6271 > 5234 > 5172 > 4871 > 4234
6271, 5234, 5172, 4871, 4234.
Do You Know?
The reverse of ascending order is descending order.
