title: "Challenge 151: Sorted Array?"

# --description--
Given an array of numbers, determine if the numbers are sorted in ascending order, descending order, or neither.
If the given array is:
- In ascending order (lowest to highest), return `"Ascending"`.
- In descending order (highest to lowest), return `"Descending"`.
- Not sorted in ascending or descending order, return `"Not sorted"`.
# --hints--
`is_sorted([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])` should return `"Ascending"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(is_sorted([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), "Ascending")`)
}})
```
`is_sorted([10, 8, 6, 4, 2])` should return `"Descending"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(is_sorted([10, 8, 6, 4, 2]), "Descending")`)
}})
```
`is_sorted([1, 3, 2, 4, 5])` should return `"Not sorted"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(is_sorted([1, 3, 2, 4, 5]), "Not sorted")`)
}})
```
`is_sorted([3.14, 2.71, 1.61, 0.57])` should return `"Descending"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(is_sorted([3.14, 2.71, 1.61, 0.57]), "Descending")`)
}})
```
`is_sorted([12.3, 23.4, 34.5, 45.6, 56.7, 67.8, 78.9])` should return `"Ascending"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(is_sorted([12.3, 23.4, 34.5, 45.6, 56.7, 67.8, 78.9]), "Ascending")`)
}})
```
`is_sorted([0.4, 0.5, 0.3])` should return `"Not sorted"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(is_sorted([0.4, 0.5, 0.3]), "Not sorted")`)
}})
```
