Java Program to Sort an Array in Descending Order

This is a Java Program to Sort the Array in Descending Order.

Enter size of array and then enter all the elements of that array. Now with the help of for loop and temp variable we sort the array in descending order.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Sort the Array in Descending Order. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.

```
import java.util.Scanner;
```
```
public class Descending_Order
```
```
{
```

    public static void main(String[] args)

```
    {
```
```
        int n, temp;
```

        Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print("Enter no. of elements you want in array:");

```
        n = s.nextInt();
```
```
        int a[] = new int[n];
```

        System.out.println("Enter all the elements:");

```
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
```
```
        {
```
```
            a[i] = s.nextInt();
```
```
        }
```
```
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
```
```
        {
```

            for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++)

```
            {
```
```
                if (a[i] < a[j]) 
```
```
                {
```
```
                    temp = a[i];
```
```
                    a[i] = a[j];
```
```
                    a[j] = temp;
```
```
                }
```
```
            }
```
```
        }
```

        System.out.print("Descending Order:");

        for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)

```
        {
```

            System.out.print(a[i] + ",");

```
        }
```
```
        System.out.print(a[n - 1]);
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

Output:

$ javac Descending_Order.java
$ java Descending_Order
 
Enter no. of elements you want in array:5
Enter all the elements:
2
3
5
1
4
Descending Order:5,4,3,2,1
