However, if you were to change the $"<"$ operator to $">",$ the function would instead find the index of the largest element in the array. This is because the $">"$ operator checks if an element is greater than the current "largest" value. If it is$,$ then that element becomes the new "largest" and its index is stored.

So$,$ by changing $"<"$ to $">"$ in the "find$\_$small$\_$index" function, you would effectively be changing the function to "find$\_$large$\_$index", and the array would be sorted from largest to smallest instead of smallest to largest.
