Hi,
I've created a Person Class with a comparable interface. And i've created an ArrayList People with varaibles from the person class in - First_name, Surname, Month(Birthday) , Day(Birthday).
Now i need to use selection sort to sort my arraylist into birthday order. In the Person Class i have a method which gives each person a different number for every possible birthday there is.
I have created a selction sort but dont know how to call the birthday from my array list and then to sort it.
This is my code for the selection sort so far:
import java.util.Array List.*;
public class Main
{
public static void selectionSort(C omparable[] people)
{
for (int k = people.length-1; k>0; k --)
{
Comparable tmp;
int Large = 0;
for (int j=1; j<= k; j++)
{
if (people[j].compareTo(peop le[k]) <0)
{
Large = j;
}
tmp = people[Large];
people[Large] = people[k];
people[k] = tmp;
}
}
}
}
this method compiles but i need to sort the birthday and dont know how. Also i need to output the whole array in birthday order.
Any help would be very greatful.
Thanks
Dave

I apologize if this is a stupid question - I'm relatively new to OOP.
I have a property that must exist in a class in order to be used by another class. The property, however, does not change with each instance (it returns an instance of a delegate that points to the same method no matter what the instance).
I thought the best way to make sure that Class1 could be used by Class2 would be to create an interface that defined this property,...

I am puzzled, what is the purpose of an interface? How does it work,
what i mean is how does the compiler treats this? Why when we talk
about separating user interface from business logic, an interface is
declared, what is it's purpose?

Hello,
I realise there are a lot of topics related to this problem but many of what I have found has run cold or unresolved. What I have is an addressbook clone where there are groups which have members. I have this formatted in a way where the groups are in a drop down box. Once a group is selected, the two selection boxes below are refreshed with those who are members or non members of the selected group. The user has the ability to...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
