Java Sort byte Array Example
This example shows how to sort a byte array using sort method of Arrays class of
java.util package.
*/
import java.util.Arrays;
public class SortByteArrayExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//create byte array
byte[] b1 = new byte[]{3,2,5,4,1};
//print original byte array
System.out.print("Original Array :\t ");
for(int index=0; index < b1.length ; index++)
System.out.print(" " + b1[index]);
/*
To sort java byte array use Arrays.sort() method of java.util package.
Sort method sorts byte array in ascending order and based on quicksort
algorithm.
There are two static sort methods available in java.util.Arrays class
to sort a byte array.
*/
//To sort full array use sort(byte[] b) method.
Arrays.sort(b1);
//print sorted byte array
System.out.print("\nSorted byte array :\t ");
for(int index=0; index < b1.length ; index++)
System.out.print(" " + b1[index]);
/*
To sort partial byte array use
sort(byte[] b, int startIndex, int endIndex) method where startIndex is
inclusive and endIndex is exclusive
*/
byte[] b2 = new byte[]{5,2,3,1,4};
Arrays.sort(b2,1,4);
//print sorted byte array
System.out.print("\nPartially Sorted byte array :\t ");
for(int index=0; index < b2.length ; index++)
System.out.print(" " + b2[index]);
}
}
/*
Output Would be
Original Array : 3 2 5 4 1
Sorted byte array : 1 2 3 4 5
Partially Sorted byte array : 5 1 2 3 4
