java sort help

[dsexton18]

First of let me apologies if I posted in the wrong spot.

I am trying to figure out how to write a java program that will reads three integer inputs into variables. It must display inputs in both order entered and in sort order. This program should sort the numbers so that value1 <= value2 <= value3.

If some one can give me an idea where to start I would appreciate it. I don’t have much programming experience

The array class has an overloaded static sort method.
Arrays (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)

Example:

int[] a = {7,9,3};
Arrays.sort(a);
for (int i=0; i < a.length; i++)
     System.out.println(a[i]);

Output:

3
7
9

@Lil_Aziz1
Arrays.toString will reduce your printing code to a one liner.

:O that is pretty cool. I thought only ArrayList and stuff did that. Although I don't see the static toString method in the array class in Arrays (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2) - and the toString method that the Array class inherits from the Object class returns the address of the array and it's not static.

I know it works because I tested it out myself but is it not documented?

Thanks for the link that's a lot of information I haven't a clue where even to start . This is what I have so far. But I am unsure where to go from here. I read my text book twice it's of much help.

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Main{

public static void main(String [] args){



String num1= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter Integer : ");

String num2= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter Integer : ");

String num3= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter Integer : ");

Ok I may be totally wrong but so far this is what I have came up with which is probably wrong.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Test3{

public static void main(String [] args){


String num1= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter Integer : ");

String num2= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter Integer : ");

String num3= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter Integer : ");


String d = num1 = num2 = num3;
Arrays.sort(d);
for (int i=0; i < d.length; i++)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(d[i]);

}
}

Ok I just about have it but I am trying to figure out how to make it dispaly the rsults in a dialog box insted of the console

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Sort2 {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

String num1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Integer : ");

String num2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Integer : ");

String num3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Integer : ");

int intValue1 = Integer.parseInt(num1);
int intValue2 = Integer.parseInt(num2);
int intValue3 = Integer.parseInt(num3);

int [] a = {intValue1,intValue2,intValue3};
Arrays.sort(a);
for (int i=0; i < a.length; i++)
System.out.println(a[i]);

}
}

I finally got it put was but was trying to figure out a way to display them on one dialog box then have it display the numbers as they where entered.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Sort2 {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

String num1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Integer : ");

String num2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Integer : ");

String num3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Integer : ");

int intValue1 = Integer.parseInt(num1);
int intValue2 = Integer.parseInt(num2);
int intValue3 = Integer.parseInt(num3);

int [] a = {intValue1,intValue2,intValue3};
Arrays.sort(a);
for (int i=0; i < a.length; i++)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,a[i]);

}
