sorting arrays
here is a simple one, I need to sort these:
80 IsmatK
38 DavidW
58 DavidS
42 DavidR
where the int is the mark and the string is the login name, they are seperated into 2 arrays.
so-far this is what I have.
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.FileDialog;
import java.lang.*;
class three
/*Class to import text file of marks into an array, then sort it, then print it out
to a screen sorted*/
{
static public void main(String args[]) throws IOException
{
FileReader file = new FileReader("marks.txt");
//tokenize the input stream so that we can add it to an array
StreamTokenizer inputStream = new StreamTokenizer(file);
inputStream.wordChars(0x20 ,0x7F);
//making my new arrays for the stuff
String[] names = new String[4];
int[] marks = new int[4];
//heading test
System.out.println("This is a heading \n");
//initiate value i
//start adding the file into my arrays
float tokenType = inputStream.nextToken();
for (int i = 0; tokenType != inputStream.TT_EOF; i++)
{
marks[i] = (int)inputStream.nval;
inputStream.nextToken();
names[i] = inputStream.sval;
tokenType = inputStream.nextToken();
}
file.close();
System.out.println(marks.l ength);
}
}

as CEHJ said, make a comparator and do collections.sort on the list..
