Go by Example: Sorting

Go’s `sort` package implements sorting for builtins and user-defined types. We’ll look at sorting for builtins first.
	`package main`
	`import ( "fmt" "sort" )`
	`func main() {`
Sort methods are specific to the builtin type; here’s an example for strings. Note that sorting is in-place, so it changes the given slice and doesn’t return a new one.	`strs := []string{"c", "a", "b"} sort.Strings(strs) fmt.Println("Strings:", strs)`
An example of sorting `int`s.	`ints := []int{7, 2, 4} sort.Ints(ints) fmt.Println("Ints: ", ints)`
We can also use `sort` to check if a slice is already in sorted order.	`s := sort.IntsAreSorted(ints) fmt.Println("Sorted: ", s) }`

Running our program prints the sorted string and int slices and true as the result of our AreSorted test.

$ go run sorting.go
Strings: [a b c]
Ints:    [2 4 7]
Sorted:  true
