Big Java Edition P6.31
Improve the program of Exercise P6.30(WHICH IS ABOVE and works), so that it displays the top customers, that is, the topN customers with the largest sales, where topN is a value that the user of the program supplies. Implement a method public static ArrayList<String> nameOfBestCustomer(ArrayList<Double> sales, ArrayList<String> customers, int topN). If there were fewer than topN customers, include them all.
Explanation / Answer
Algorithm
Store the sale details in the array
Then sort the array by highest value to lowest value of sale and including rank to them
Display the customer name whoever purchased with highest value
