   Java Sort short Array Example
   This example shows how to sort a short array using sort method of Arrays class of
   java.util package.

     To sort java short array use Arrays.sort() method of java.util package.
     Sort method sorts short array in ascending order and based on quicksort

     There are two static sort methods available in java.util.Arrays class
     to sort a short array.

      inclusive and endIndex is exclusive

Output Would be
 
Original Array :     3  2  5  4  1
Sorted Short array :     1  2  3  4  5
Partially Sorted Short array :     5  1  2  3  4
