title: Sorting arrays using for loop in Javascript
body: <p>Is it possible to sort arrays in ascending/descending order using the <strong>for loop</strong> JavaScript?</p>
  
  <p>I've been learning JS going through a few practice questions in a textbook before a class test.</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers would be appreciated!</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = Number(prompt("a:"));
  b = Number(prompt("b:"));
  c = Number(prompt("c:"));
  d = Number(prompt("d:"));
  e = Number(prompt("e:"));
  
  // find largest element
  var test = [a, b, c, d, e];
  var biggest = -Infinity;
  var biggest_index = -1; {
      for (i = 0; i &lt; test.length; i++) {
          if (test[i] &gt; biggest) {
              biggest = test[i];
              biggest_index = i;
          }
          else;
      }
      alert("The biggest element is " + biggest + " at index " + biggest_index);
  }
  
  // move largest element of array to the last index
  test[test.length] = biggest;
  
  // get rid of copy
  test[biggest_index] = 0;
  alert("Unsorted: " + test);
  
  // shuffle ??
  </code></pre>
