1. What is Decimal Sorting?

Decimal sorting arranges numbers with decimal points in order from the smallest value to the largest value. This is essential for organizing data, comparing values, and performing statistical analysis.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator takes your input of decimal numbers, validates them, and sorts them in ascending order using PHP's built-in sort function.

The algorithm follows these steps:
1. Parse input numbers separated by commas or spaces
2. Validate each number
3. Convert valid numbers to float values
4. Sort numbers from smallest to largest
5. Display the sorted result

3. Importance of Decimal Sorting

Details: Sorting decimals is fundamental in data analysis, financial calculations, scientific research, and many mathematical applications where ordered sequences are required.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your decimal numbers separated by commas or spaces. The calculator will ignore any non-numeric values and sort only the valid numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What decimal formats are accepted?
A: The calculator accepts standard decimal formats like 1.23, 0.5, .75, and 4 (which is treated as 4.0).

Q2: How many numbers can I sort at once?
A: There's no strict limit, but extremely large lists may take longer to process.

Q3: What happens with invalid entries?
A: Non-numeric entries are ignored in the sorting process.

Q4: Does it work with negative decimals?
A: Yes, negative decimals are sorted correctly (e.g., -1.5 comes before -1.2).

Q5: Can I sort numbers in descending order?
A: This calculator specifically sorts from smallest to largest. For descending order, you would reverse the sorted array.
