Hello,
When I used sort() to do that, but my problem is that sort() just arrange numbers from small to big, not from big to small. That is the issue I am having now. For instance:
# The user is entering those numbers:a = 2.7b = 4.7c= 5.8d = 7.9# I will like the answer to be like this: 7.9  5.8  4.7 2.7
#but if I use sort(), I will have that answer, but I do not want that:2.7 4.7 5.8 7.9
Thank you!
