Package Exports

sort-numbers

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (sort-numbers) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

API

sortNumbers(numbers)

numbers: Array of Number without NaN
Return: Array of Number

It returns the array numerically sorted in ascending order.

Note that Array.prototype.sort works as lexical sort by default.

var arr = [100, -2, -Infinity];

sortNumbers(arr); //=> [ -Infinity, -2, 100 ]
arr.sort(); //=> [ -2, -Infinity, 100 ]

It returns an empty array when the argument is an empty array.

It throws a TypeError when the array contains non-number values or NaN.

sortNumbers(new Array()); //=> []

sortNumbers([1, '2', 3]); // throw a type error
sortNumbers([NaN]); // throw a type error

sortNumbers.desc(numbers)

numbers: Array of Number without NaN
Return: Array of Number

It returns the array numerically sorted in descending order.

var arr = [0, 1, 2 ,3];

sortNumbers.desc(arr) //=> [3, 2, 1, 0]
sortNumbers(arr) //=> [0, 1, 2, 3]

sortNumbers.asc(numbers)

An alias to sortNumbers.
