Java program to sort short array

In this article, we will learn to sort a short array in Java using the Arrays.sort() method. Begin by declaring and initializing an unsorted short array, then sort it and display the sorted array.

Arrays.sort() method : This method sorts the elements of array in ascending order which have specified range and specified order.

Syntax

public static void sort(Object[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex)

Steps to sort short array

Following are the steps to sort short array in Java ?

• Declare and initialize an unsorted short array.
• Print the unsorted array.
• Use Arrays.sort() to sort the array.
• Print the sorted array.

Java program to sort short array

Below is the Java program to sort short array ?

import java.util.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Demo {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    short[] arr = new short[] {
      35,
      25,
      18,
      45,
      77,
      21,
      3
    };
    System.out.println("Unsorted:");
    for (short s: arr) {
      System.out.println(s);
    }
    System.out.println("Sorted:");
    Arrays.sort(arr);
    for (short s: arr) {
      System.out.println(s);
    }
    System.out.println();
  }
}

Output

Unsorted:
35
25
18
45
77
21
3
Sorted:
3
18
21
25
35
45
77

Code Explanation

Initialize an unsorted short array and print its elements. Use Arrays.sort() to sort the array in ascending order, then print the sorted array. The for-each loop is used to iterate through the array elements for displaying the elements.
