issorted

Instructions

Write a function IsSorted that returns true, if the slice of int is sorted, otherwise returns false.

The function passed in the parameter returns a positive int if a (the first argument) is greater than to b (the second argument), it returns 0 if they are equal and it returns a negative int otherwise.

To do your testing you have to write your own f function.

Expected function

func IsSorted(f func(a, b int) int, a []int) bool {

}

Usage

Here is a possible program to test your function (without f):

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"piscine"
)

func main() {
	a1 := []int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
	a2 := []int{0, 2, 1, 3}

	result1 := piscine.IsSorted(f, a1)
	result2 := piscine.IsSorted(f, a2)

	fmt.Println(result1)
	fmt.Println(result2)
}

And its output :

$ go run .
true
false
$
