you will develop a c++ program to sort the elements of a character array in descending order. Your program should ask the user to input 7 elements (of type char) for the array and sort it. For instance, if the user enters d a b e c x g, your program should display: x g e d c b a Note: You cannot use the built-in sort function. Also, you can assume that the user only enters lower-case characters.

Expert Solution
Program

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char arr[7];
    
    for(int i=0;i<7;i++){
        cin>>arr[i];
    }
    
    // use bubble sort
    for(int i=0;i<7;i++){
        for(int j=i+1;j<7;j++){
            if(arr[i]<arr[j]){
                char temp = arr[i];
                arr[i] = arr[j];
                arr[j] = temp;
            }
        }
    }
    
    cout<<"Sorted array is ";
    for(int i=0;i<7;i++){
        cout<<arr[i]<<" ";
    }

    return 0;
}
