HackerRank Java BigDecimal problem solution

In this HackerRank Java BigDecimal problem in the java programming language Java’s BigDecimal class can handle arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers. Let’s test your knowledge of them!

Given an array, s, of n real number strings, sort them in descending order — but wait, there’s more! Each number must be printed in the exact same format as it was read from stdin, meaning that .1 is printed as .1, and 0.1 is printed as 0.1. If two numbers represent numerically equivalent values (e.g., .1 = 0.1), then they must be listed in the same order as they were received as input).

    public static void main(String []args){
        //Input
        Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in);

        String []s=new String[n+2];
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
            s[i]=sc.next();
        }
        sc.close();

        //Write your code here
        for(int i=1; i<n ; i++){
            for(int j=i; j>=1; j--){

                if(new BigDecimal(s[j]).compareTo(new BigDecimal(s[j-1]))>0){   
                    String temp = s[j];
                    s[j] = s[j-1];
                    s[j-1] = temp;
                    
                }else{
                    break;
                }
            }  
        } 
        

        //Output
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
        {
            System.out.println(s[i]);
