How to sort an array of integers correctly?

Question

I am trying to get the highest and lowest value from an integer array when I apply the sort function it seems to handle the values as strings. Is there a way to get the sort function to actually sort on integer value?

Answer 1

By default, the sort method sorts elements alphabetically. So, you can do something like this:

var numArray=[14000,104,99];

console.log(numArray.sort((a,b)=>a-b));//for ascending order

console.log(numArray.sort((a,b)=>b-a));//for descending order
