Confused with a program

Hi, I'm pretty new to JAVA and I haven't received the best help with creating programs. I am doing a program called Bunny.java and the basics about it is that you get a list of random numbers (ascending) located in a textfile. Then if an asterisk will be printed on top of the numbers if the difference between the current value and the value next is less than 50. This is a homework assignment, and my main question is this: What type of loop, array, ... will I need to make in order for the program to look at the textfile from the highest number all the way to the lowest?

If the numbers are already sorted from lowest to highest in the file, I'm not sure of a way to read the highest to lowest, except indirectly:

Read all of the numbers into an array of integers, and then traverse that array from end to start. This should give you your desired result.
