Question
Assume an array is defined as int[] nums = {7, 15, 23, 5};. Which of the following would place the values in the array in descending numeric order?
  a. Array.Reverse(nums);  
  b. Array.Reverse(nums); Array.Sort(nums);  
  c. Array.Sort(nums);  
  d. Array.Sort(nums); Array.Reverse(nums);
Expert Solution
Step 1

Explanation:

  • Array.Reverse(nums) will reverse the order of elements in the array, but it will not sort them.
  • Array.Sort(nums) will sort the elements of the array in ascending order.
  • To sort the array in descending order, we first need to sort it in ascending order using Array.Sort(nums), and then reverse the order of elements using Array.Reverse(nums).
