I'll be grateful if anybody could tell me how should I arrange the undermentioned array in ascending and descending order: int ff[]={56,8,75,4,35,90,12,35,123,67,8}; Thanx in advance. Sajjad Rahimi Greenhorn (rather DARK green)
Arrays.sort(ff); See the API (as below): sort public static void sort(int[]�a) Sorts the specified array of ints into ascending numerical order. The sorting algorithm is a tuned quicksort, adapted from Jon L. Bentley and M. Douglas McIlroy's "Engineering a Sort Function", Software-Practice and Experience, Vol. 23(11) P. 1249-1265 (November 1993). This algorithm offers n*log(n) performance on many data sets that cause other quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance. Parameters: a - the array to be sorted.
Dear Mr. Hoburn: Thanx for your help. But it's a bit difficult for me to grasp, since, you see, I'm Java's DARKgreenhorn (very new to Java). I'll appreciate having proper coding for this purpose. Regards, Sajjad Rahimi

int ff[]={56,8,75,4,35,90,12,35,123,67,8}; Arrays.sort(ff); // sorts in ascending numerical order and puts back in ff Why would you sort it in descending order? Just read the array from end to front. ------------------ Cindy Glass Sun Certified Programmer for the Java� 2 Platform Co-author of Java 2 Certification Passport
don't forget to put import java.util.*; at the top of your file, or the compiler won't have any idea what Arrays.sort() is. i found out the hard way >;P
