Golang : Sort and reverse sort a slice of floats
Problem :
How to sort and reverse sort a slice of floats ?
Solution :
Declare the slice type as sort.Float64Slice and use Sort() method and sort.Reverse functions.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"sort"
)
var floatSlice sort.Float64Slice = []float64{4.22222, 1.5555, -6.55555, 99.889888}
func main() {
fmt.Println("Original : ", floatSlice[:])
floatSlice.Sort()
fmt.Println("Sort : ", floatSlice[:])
sort.Sort(sort.Reverse(floatSlice[:]))
fmt.Println("Reverse : ", floatSlice[:])
}
Output :
Original : [4.22222 1.5555 -6.55555 99.889888]
Sort : [-6.55555 1.5555 4.22222 99.889888]
Reverse : [99.889888 4.22222 1.5555 -6.55555]
