Array

12
Hello guys!
i have a little question, i have just began to teach myself the Array subject and i have a little problem...
can someone tell me please how can i arrange the next Array by the following way?:
here is the array: {girl,boys,elephant,boy,computer}
well, the word boys is actually bigger than the word boy,
and the letter b comes before g so boy (and boys) suppose to appear before girl...

{boy,boys,computer,elephant,girl...},
how can i arrange it by some simple lines of code?
thank you very much!

You want to alphabetically sort the array, right? For the record, you're talking
about 'arrays' (lowercase 'a'); there also is a class 'Arrays' (capital 'a'). That's the
class you want because one of its utility methods can sort your array (lowercase 'a').

Also have a look at the 'Generic Heap Sort' article in Java's Howtos. It can do
the same and much much more.

kind regards,

Jos
