In this program we will see how to sort array elements in descending order.

Problem Statement

Discussion

Here we are sorting the number in bubble sorting technique. In this sorting technique there will be n passes for n different numbers. In i^th pass the i^th smallest element will be placed at the end. This is comparison based sort. We taking two consecutive numbers, compare them, and then swap them if the numbers are not in correct order.
