Using Quick Sort in C to sort in reverse direction (descending)?

Question

To sort I call qsort(myArray,100,sizeof(int), comp)

int comp(const int * a, const int * b)
if(a==b)
{
    return 0;
}
else
{
    if(a

        

Answer 1

Change your compare function so that it is ordering the way you like.

And the compare function takes pointers to compared data (not the data itself). Eg.

int compare (const void* p1, const void* p2)
{ 
   int i1 = *(int*) p1;
   int i2 = *(int*) p2;
   if (i1 < i2) return -1;
   else if (i1 == i2) return 0;
   else return 1;
   /* or simply: return i1 - i2; */
 }
