Using sorting techniques to arrange items
Sorting is a way to arrange items in a container. We can arrange them in ascending or descending order. If we have to implement the high score system and leader board of a game, sorting becomes necessary. In the game, the moment a user achieves a score higher than his previous highest score, we should update that value as the current highest score and push it to a local or online leader board. If it's local, we should arrange all the user's previous high scores in descending order and display the top 10 scores. If it is an online leader board, we need to sort all the users' latest high scores and display the result.
