PHP Exercises: Accepts six numbers as input and sorts them in descending order

PHP: Exercise-55 with Solution

Write a PHP program that accepts six numbers as input and sorts them in descending order.

Input: Input consists of six numbers n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6 (-100000 ≤ n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6 ≤ 100000). The six numbers are separated by a space.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Read a line of input from STDIN and trim any leading or trailing whitespace
$stdin = trim(fgets(STDIN));

// Explode the input string into an array of integers using space as the delimiter
$nums = explode(" ", $stdin);

// Sort the array of integers in descending order
rsort($nums);

// Print a message indicating the result
print("After sorting the said integers:\n");

// Implode the sorted array into a string, separating elements with a space, and echo the result
echo implode(' ', $nums);
?>

Sample Output:

After sorting the said integers:
9 8 7 6 4 2
