Please can someone help me with this program

[shblack]

Please can someone help me with this program. I am in a JAVA programming class and I am having a heck of a time. I am still having a problem with the basic concepts of JAVA but the teacher continues to give us difficult assignments with out any help. Here is the assignment:

Write a class named 'Player' that has two attributes, 'name' (which has to be a 'Sting') and 'rating' (which has to be a 'int'). Then write an application class named "PlayerRating" that first creates an array consisting of 5 player objects, then display the list three times; first unsorted, then sorted by Name and finally sorted by rating.

Must use the Bubble Sort Program and do NOT use Array.sort.

Example output:

Unsorted
Name: Rating:
Mickey Mantle 5
Ty Cobb 3
Babe Ruth 4
Pete Rose 3
Sammy Sosa 1

Sorted by Name
Name: Rating:
Babe Ruth 4
Mickey Mantle 5
Pete Rose 3
Sammy Sosa 1
Ty Cobb 3

Sorted by Rating
Name: Rating:
Sammy Sosa 1
Pete Rose 3
Ty Cobb 3
Babe Ruth 4
Mickey Mantle 5

Here is what I have and it is not much, cause I am so lost:

You know, the man asked for help, not for you to write his program for him. That's called cheating in academic circles.

shblack, if you need some advice or guidance on where to go from this problem, please PM me, and I'd be glad to assist you.
