         Console.WriteLine("Original Unsorted List");
         foreach (int i in list) {
            Console.Write(i + " ");
         }
         //sort
         Array.Sort(list);
         // Descending order
         Array.Reverse(list);
         Console.WriteLine("
Sorted List");
         for(int i=0; i<list.Length; i++) {
            Console.Write(list[i] + " ");
         }
      }
   }
}
