Let's say i have an array: int[string] wordCount.
How to print key:value pairs ordered by descending value?
Or generally how to to store wordCount in an array of structs
or type tuples for later sorting?
In Python I would use something like this:
sorted(wordCount.items(), key=lambda a: a[1], reverse=True).
Basically, you have to extract and sort a third party data
structure.
what you can do is extract only the keys though, and sort them
according to a specific pred. Then once your keys are sorted,
you can re-obtain the value from the original AA.
Yes, as mentioned, you can use schartzsort for better
performance. Even then though, depending on the size of your
values, it may be smarter to sort only the keys.
