Write a static method named isSorted that takes an array of real numbers as a parameter and that returns true if the list is in

sorted (nondecreasing) order and false otherwise. For example, if variables named list1 and list2 refer to arrays containing {16.1, 12.3, 22.2, 14.4} and {1.5, 4.3, 7.0, 19.5, 25.1, 46.2} respectively, the calls of isSorted(list1) and isSorted(list2) should return false and true respectively. Assume the array has at least one element. A one-element array is considered to be sorted.
Test your code with the following class:
public class TestIsSorted {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double[] a1 = {16.1, 25.3, 12.2, 44.4};
double[] a2 = {1.5, 4.3, 7.0, 19.5, 25.1, 46.2};
double[] a3 = {42.0};
System.out.println(isSorted(a1)); // false
System.out.println(isSorted(a2)); // true
System.out.println(isSorted(a3)); // true
}
// your code goes here
}

Methods are collections of named code blocks, that are executed when called or evoked.

<h3>The isSorted method</h3>

The isSorted method written in Java, where comments are used to explain each line is as follows

//This defines the isSorted method

public static boolean isSorted(double[] myArr){

//This iterates through the array

for (int i = 0; i < myArr.length - 1; i++){

//If the current element is greater than the next

if (myArr[i] > myArr[i + 1]) {

//This returns false

return false;

}

//This returns true, if the array is sorted

return true;

}
