We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a number n. Our function should return it with its digits in descending order. Essentially, we should rearrange the digits to create the highest possible number.

      return +b - +a;
   });
   const newStr = arr.join('');
   const res = Number(newStr);
   return res;
};
console.log(arrangeInDescending(num));
