// create arrays in TypeScriptlet names: string[] = ["Theodore", "James", "Peter", "Amaka"]let numbers : Array<number>;numbers = [12, 34, 5, 0.9]let cars : Array<string> = ["Porsche", "Toyota", "Lexus"]let randomValues : Array<string | number | boolean> = ["one",1, "two", 2, 56, true]// sort the arraysconsole.log(names.sort())console.log(numbers.sort())console.log(cars.sort())console.log(randomValues.sort())
sort() method, we sort the arrays and print the results to the console screen.// create an arraylet numbers = [12, 34, 5, 0.9]// sort the array using a functionnumbers.sort(function(a, b){return b - a; // sort in descending order})// print sorted arrayconsole.log(numbers)
sort() method, with a function to sort the array in descending order.
