Sorting two arrays simultaneously

Question

I\'m learning and understanding Java now, and while practising with arrays I had a doubt. I wrote the following code as an example:

Answer 1

Below is the code without using any Map Collection, but if you want to use Map then it becomes very easy. Add both the arrays into map and sort it.

public static void main(String args[]) {
    String a[] = new String[] {
        "Sam", "Claudia", "Josh", "Toby", "Donna"
    };
    int b[] = new int[] {
        1, 2, 3, 4, 5
    };
    for (int n = 0; n < 5; n++) {
        System.out.print(a[n] + "...");
        System.out.println(b[n]);
    }
    System.out.println(" ");
    //java.util.Arrays.sort(a);
    /* Bubble Sort */
    for (int n = 0; n < 5; n++) {
        for (int m = 0; m < 4 - n; m++) {
            if ((a[m].compareTo(a[m + 1])) > 0) {
                String swapString = a[m];
                a[m] = a[m + 1];
                a[m + 1] = swapString;
                int swapInt = b[m];
                b[m] = b[m + 1];
                b[m + 1] = swapInt;
            }
        }
    }
    for (int n = 0; n < 5; n++) {
        System.out.print(a[n] + "...");
        System.out.println(b[n]);
    }
}
