Java Sort char Array Example
This example shows how to sort a char array using sort method of Arrays class of
java.util package.
*/
import java.util.Arrays;
public class SortCharArrayExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//create char array
char[] c1 = new char[]{'d','a','f','k','e'};
//print original char array
System.out.print("Original Array :\t ");
for(int index=0; index < c1.length ; index++)
System.out.print(" " + c1[index]);
/*
To sort java char array use Arrays.sort() method of java.util package.
Sort method sorts char array in ascending order and based on quicksort
algorithm.
There are two static sort methods available in java.util.Arrays class
to sort a char array.
*/
//To sort full array use sort(char[] c) method.
Arrays.sort(c1);
//print sorted char array
System.out.print("\nSorted char array :\t ");
for(int index=0; index < c1.length ; index++)
System.out.print(" " + c1[index]);
/*
To sort partial char array use
sort(char[] c, int startIndex, int endIndex) method where startIndex is
inclusive and endIndex is exclusive
*/
char[] c2 = new char[]{'d','a','f','k','e'};
Arrays.sort(c2,1,4);
//print sorted char array
System.out.print("\nPartially Sorted char array :\t ");
for(int index=0; index < c2.length ; index++)
System.out.print(" " + c2[index]);
}
}
/*
Output Would be
Original Array : d a f k e
Sorted char array : a d e f k
Partially Sorted char array : d a f k e
