How to sort an array of numbers in ascending order?

// Sorting an array of numbers in ascending order using the sort method
const numbers = [5, 2, 8, 1, 9, 4];

numbers.sort((a, b) => a - b); // Sorting the array in ascending order

// Sorted result: [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9]

The sort() method in JavaScript sorts array elements as strings by default. To correctly sort numbers in ascending order, you need to pass a comparison function (a, b) => a - b. This function returns a negative number if a is less than b, a positive number if a is greater than b, and zero if they are equal. This allows the sort() method to correctly determine the order of elements.
