sorting integers in order lowest to highest java

Question

These numbers are stored in the same integer variable. How would I go about sorting the integers in order lowest to highest?

11367
11358
11421
11530
11491
11218
11         


        

Answer 1

There are two options, really:

1. Use standard collections, as explained by Shakedown
2. Use Arrays.sort

E.g.,

int[] ints = {11367, 11358, 11421, 11530, 11491, 11218, 11789};
Arrays.sort(ints);
System.out.println(Arrays.asList(ints));

That of course assumes that you already have your integers as an array. If you need to parse those first, look for String.split and Integer.parseInt.
