Sort elements in Short Array using Index in Java

Declaration :

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

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

Explanation :

Purpose	The java.util.Arrays.sort(short[] a int fromIndex int toIndex) method sorts the specified range of the specified array of shorts into ascending numerical order. The range to be sorted extends from index fromIndex inclusive to index toIndex exclusive.
Parameters	a ===> This is the array to be sorted.
	fromIndex ===> This is the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.
	toIndex ===> This is the index of the last element (exclusive) to be sorted .
Return Value	This method does not return any value.
Exception	IllegalArgumentException — if fromIndex > toIndex ,ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException — if fromIndex < 0 or toIndex > a.length

Java Program : Example

Below example will explain java.util.Arrays.sort() method.

package com.c4learn;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class ArrayDemo {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// Initialize an unsorted short array
		short arrSh[] = { 5, 25, 10, 20, 15 };
		// Print the Unsorted Short Array
		System.out.println("The Unsorted Short Array is : ");
		for (short num : arrSh) {
			System.out.println("Array element is " + num);
		}
		// Sort the array from index 0 to 5
		Arrays.sort(arrSh, 0, 5);
		// Print the sorted Array list
		System.out.println("The sorted short array is :");
		for (short num : arrSh) {
			System.out.println("Array element is " + num);
		}
	}
}

package com.c4learn;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class ArrayDemo {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Initialize an unsorted short array

short arrSh[] = { 5, 25, 10, 20, 15 };

// Print the Unsorted Short Array

System.out.println("The Unsorted Short Array is : ");

for (short num : arrSh) {

System.out.println("Array element is " + num);

}

// Sort the array from index 0 to 5

Arrays.sort(arrSh, 0, 5);

// Print the sorted Array list

System.out.println("The sorted short array is :");

for (short num : arrSh) {

System.out.println("Array element is " + num);

}

Output of Program :

The Unsorted Short Array is : 
Array element is 5
Array element is 25
Array element is 10
Array element is 20
Array element is 15
The sorted short array is :
Array element is 5
Array element is 10
Array element is 15
Array element is 20
Array element is 25

The Unsorted Short Array is :

Array element is 5

Array element is 25

Array element is 10

Array element is 20

Array element is 15

The sorted short array is :

Array element is 5

Array element is 10

Array element is 15

Array element is 20

Array element is 25
