Is it possible to sort 4 integers in either descending/ascending order using ONLY Math.min and Math.max?
Cannot use the "if", "while", "for", "switch" keywords.

Yes, each of the four ranks can be represented by an expression that
uses only nested combinations of min() and max().
I won't post any code since the keyword restriction makes it sound
like a homework question.
