Sort Strings In Alphabetical Order - Method Not Being Applied
Jan 21, 2014
I'm doing an exercise we're you're supposed to sort strings in alphabetical order, without importing anything , not using the Arrays.sort() method.
I think I got the method down partially right, or it is on the right track, but it is completely not being applied to my answer. All it prints out in the console is the actual String array twice, without sorting anything.
public class arrayofstrings {
public static void sort(String[] a) {
String temp= "";
int min;
int i= 0;
for (int j=0; j<a.length-1; j++) {
[Code] ....

I am trying to sort an array that I have by alphabetical order but I am having problems. Firstly the code that I have used to sort the array may not even do what I need but havn't got far enough to test it yet so go easy on me . I have read in some places when searching how to do this that I would have to create my own bubble sort in order to achieve this but I was hoping that Java had a built in sort method/function. Secondly I lack the knowledge in java to be able to assign an existing array or even a variable to the newly sorted array as I need the unsorted version with the original name and the newly sorted version as another.
code (This is not all of the code, I decided to include only what I thought was relevant):
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Sentence {
private String words[];
public Sentence(String[] words) { this.words = words; }
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Sentence{" +
"words=" + Arrays.toString(words) +
[Code] ....
Is it possible to shorten the sort function to just this?
public String sorted() {
return Arrays.sort(words);
}

I am having a lot of trouble with this lab. basically I have to make a text processor to read in code put it into a file and output the contents of the input file in alphabetical order one word per line. I have to reference the string varaibles input_filename and output_filename.
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
public class TextProcessor {
[Code] ....
these are the guidelines to said lab:
1. In the main method define two Strings called input_filename and output_filename. I will be setting these Strings to my own file names for testing your code, so make sure you get these variable names correct, and that you use them properly in the following steps.
2. Read in the text contents of the file referenced by input_filename.
3. Split the contents of the input text into separate tokens, using whitespace as a delimiter.
4. Lower case the tokens.
5. OPTIONAL: remove punctuation
6. Alphabetize the tokens.
7. Using output_filename, write the alphabetized tokens to an output file, one token per line.
8. Be sure to close file streams - no resource leaks!
9. Use methods to separate functionality in your program where possible

So I'm trying to implement a quick sort method for an ArrayList of Strings and right now I'm getting the compiler error message: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. I don't know what that error means nor how to fix it. I've marked in my code where the error seems to be occurring.
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class quickSort
{
// constructor
public quickSort()

public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<String>products = new ArrayList();
products.add("shampoo");

products.add("conditioner");
Collections.sort(products);
[Code] ....
I am using netbeans and getting errors for display(); and size(); it is telling me the errors are :
for the display error, "method display in class DebugSix cannot be applied to given types;
display();" and for the size() is : "cannot find symbol System.out.println("
The size of the list is " + size());"

I am trying to sort the 5 cards in decreasing order and this is exactly what my professor gave us but it has errors.
int pos;
int max;
for (pos = 0; pos < hand.length; pos++){
max = pos;
for (int i = pos + 1; i < hand.length; i++){
if (hand[max] < hand[i]){
max = i;
}
}
if (max != pos){
int temp = hand[pos];
hand[pos] = hand[max];
hand[max] = temp;
}
}
}
Line 6 has an error with the < operator.
Line 11&13 says cannot convert from card to Int.
This method is passing in Card[] hand

Suppose s, t, and w are strings that have already been created inside main. Write a statement or statements, to be added to main, that will determine if the lengths of the three strings are in order by length, smallest to largest. That is, your code should determine if s is strictly shorter than t, and if t is strictly shorter than w. If these conditions hold your code should print (the boolean value) true. If not, your code should print false. (Strictly means: no ties)

I have some codes as below:
public class Hello
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Student().fun();
}
}
class Person
[Code] ....
Now the output is "Person". if i hide the "PRIVATE" in class PERSON, that is, method PRINT in class STUDENT override the same method in its father class, then the output is "Student". Why? I mean, how does the program know what PRINT method should be called?

I'm trying to make a selection sort method that will sort a list of Strings alphabetically.
I have a test list of Strings like so:
Joe, Steve, Oscar, Drew, Evan, Brian, Ryan, Adam, Zachary, Jane, Doe, Susan, Fred, Billy-Bob, Cindy, Mildred, Joseph, Hammer, Hank, Dennis, Barbara
However, whenever I run the method, the element that should go last, Zachary, in this case, ends up getting moved to the front for some reason. I'm not sure why.
I tried changing what the first element was initialized to, to the variable i as that would logically work as well, but it ends up missing the first element in the list.
Java Code:
public static void selectionStringAscendingSort (String[] words){
int i, j, first;
String temp;
for ( i = 1; i < words.length; i++ ) {
first = 0; //initialize to subscript of first element
for(j = i; j < words.length; j ++){ //locate smallest element between positions 1 and i.
if( words[ j ].compareTo(words[ first ]) <0 )
first = j;
}
temp = words[ first ]; //swap smallest found with element in position i.
words[ first ] = words[ i ];
words[ i ] = temp;
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(words));
}
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(words));
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Here is the java code that i compiled on eclipse but each time i run it i am getting different sequence of output !!
What I did is that my main() calls a function m1() which calls a function m2() which throws an exception back to m1() which throws exception back to main().
public class ClassB {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
m1();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
[Code] ....
The output is as shown in screenshots at different times :

I have a question about selection sort. If I had an array of numbers, 1 2 3 4 100 0, and used the selection sort method (below) on the array,would the 0 slowly work it's way down to the end?
Nest loop = full rotation of nest loop
Nest loop 1: 1 2 3 4 100 0
Nest loop 2: 1 2 3 4 100 0
Nest loop 3: 1 2 3 4 100 0
Nest loop 4: 1 2 3 4 100 0
Nest loop 5: 1 2 3 4 0 100
Nest loop 6: 1 2 3 0 4 100
etc.
METHOD:
static void selectionSort(int[] arr){
int n = arr.length;
for(int i = 0;i<n;i++){
int min = i;
for(int j = i+1;j<n;j++){
if(arr[j]<arr[min]){
min = j;
}
}
int temp = arr[i];
arr[i] = arr[min];
arr[min] = temp;
}
}

I have been looking around and I cannot seem to find which algorithm java uses for its sort method. Merge, sort etc.
While I am on the topic BinaryTree is a balanced heap right?
Are there any libraries for depth or breath first search?
Is the ArrayList a double linked list?

I have wrote the necessary program for the class which was : Modify the customer class to include changeStreet(), changeState(), and changeZip methods. Modify the account class to include a changeAddress() method that has street city and zip parameters. Modify the Bank application to test the changeAddress method.
The problem arose when I went to test it. For some reason when it asks "Would you like to modify your account information? (y/n)" it will not allow the user to input anything and thus test the class. Here is my code
Class Customer
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Customer {
private String firstName, lastName, street, city,state, zip;

I'm scanning my text and I want to add them into array list, but it is not easy. I want each word store from arrayList of a to z which is arrayList size is 26. Example:
arrayList a store string array of: an, and, apple, ...
arrayList b store string array of: be, become, became.....
.
arrayList z store string array of: zero, zone...
In my class, I create:
private static ArrayList<String[]> words = new ArrayList<String[]>(26); // to store all words
In main, I do while loop to get each words and store in words array,
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Scanner;
