Answer 1

Well let's say you have an array

int[] myArray = new int[] { 3, 4, 6, 8, 2, 1, 9};

And you want to sort it. You do this:

// assumes you imported at the top
Arrays.sort(myArray);

Here's the whole shebang:

import java.util.Arrays;
class ArrayTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] myArray = new int[] { 3, 4, 6, 8, 2, 1, 9};
        Arrays.sort(myArray);
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(myArray));
    }
}

And that results in

[1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9]
