Arrays in Java
The ability to utilize and sort arrays is a critical skill in any programming language. This week's lesson will use arrays to store information. An algorithm rearranges the data from smallest to largest values.
• Selection Sort (8.6.2, pg. 505);
• Insertion Sort (8.6.3, pg. 511);
• Bubble Sort (see page 526 for a description of the Bubble Sort Algorithm).
Assignment:
Create an (double) array to store the scores below. Then create a sorting class using one of the above methods. Make sure the sorting class processes double arrays (double[] arrayName;). Create a client class to call the sorting Class. Pass the array of scores to the Sorting class. Sort the array from smallest to largest and printout the sorted array.
