Types of Java Sorts

Hello,
I am new to this site and cannot find the information I am looking for, so I hope you all can help me. I need to know the different types of Java sorts there are. I only know of bubble and selection. I cannot find the rest on this site. If someone can give me a link to the different types, that would be awesome.
Thanks for the help,
speedy11309

i mean different ways to sort things. like if i have
a bunch of numbers inputted, like 5 7 1 123 12, and i
want to sort those numbers from high to low, i can
use the bubble sort technique. i know there are
different types of algorithms to sort them but i dont
know what they are or what they are called.Yes, there are different types: bubble, quick, insertion, merge, etc.
Those sorting algorithms have nothing to do with Java. You can impelement any of them in Java. Some have been implemented as part of certain libraries, as I mentioned. I think the Arrays.sort and List.sort both use quicksort, but I'm not sure.
If you're looking for some kind of library where you can call bubbleSort(myStuff);
// OR
quickSort(myStuff); etc. then you'll have to either roll your own or google for such a thing. If it exists, it's not part of Java, it's just implemented using Java.

Java sorting the array of objects

Hi ,
I have a question on sorting objects in java.
I have a java interface some thing like :
public classmyObj extends Nullable
    private int objId;
    private Datemydate;
    public int getObjID();
    public Date getmyDate();
    public int getISecondD();
}I need to create the array of the objects of this class that are sorted on the ObjID:
classmyObj[] collectionObjects
I need to pass this collectionObjects to another function.
Now how should I sort these objects based on the ObjID on collection?
Please help with this!
Thanks

Your sorting an array of chars ? An array of String ? An ArrayList with chars/Strings ? Could you be more specific ?

Java , sort of tyypewriter

My question is how can I make java show me a sequence of numbers by drawing them?
eg:
"1" then after n * seconds shw "12" then after n*seconds "123"I tried it with multithreading but i ended up overclocking my computer and no real result!

Sort order precedence

Hi
I am reading data from a table column in html sorted by MS SQL (order by). I am then using Java (Collections.sort()) to verify that the column is actually sorted correctly.
My algorithm works fine for a-zA-Z0-9 (I ignore case when I sort), but for these !@#$%^ etc. (some special characters) the Java sort is sorting them in a different order from MS SQL (some appear before the digits, and others appear in a different order).
I looked at the ASCII/Unicode table and Java is sorting them correctly according to their numerical values (taking into account that I use an ignore case sort).
MS SQL seems to sort the same way as MS Excel.
Any idea how I can simulate the SQL sort with java? I believe they are using the regular order by (with an optional ascending or descending), and the sort field is text.
Thanks

Any idea how I can simulate the SQL sort with java?
You should better ask this in a Java forum then in Sql, because SQL Server sorts the right way.
And why do you compare the order, makes no sense for me.

Unicode Sorting?

Is there a sorting sequence in Oracle 9i which would give me unicode sorting?
Our application needs to provide international support using Oracle as the backend database. Application is written in Java and we are using Data Direct JDBC driver to connect to Oracle. The application sorts data in 2 ways - ORDER BY clause sent to database or result set sorted in JAVA and there are reasons why each one is chosen where it is and it is not desirable to switch to one or another sort methods completely. Java supports unicode sorting. Is there an equivalent collating sequence which will sort similarly for the ORDER BY sorts such that there is consistency between the database sort and java sorting? We expect our database tables to store unicode strings - i.e columns could have data from multiple languages and thus binary sorting would not be adequate. We are using the SQL NCHAR data types to implement Unicode and not relying on the database cahracter set to be used as UTF8.
Thanks
Raj

There is a chapter in the Oracle Globablization Guide http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96529/ch4.htm#1656 on linguistic sorting.
Off the top of my head, I don't know how Java sorts unicode data, but I'm certain you can achieve the same in Oracle.

Can anyone tell me the Java Training facilities in Seattle area

I need to learn Java within a week or so, is there any quick-learn-Java sort of training facilities near Seattle or Bellevue area?

"Learn Java in a week"?
What do you mean by "learn"? If you mean be able to write Hello World and understand the bare bones basics of what goes into a simple Java program, maybe.
If you mean understand the language and API thoroughly enough to produce real, quality software, that's pretty unreasonable.

Simpler way to sort 2-d string array?

I have a long 2d string array, and I would like to sort by the 2nd value. It originates as:
    public static final String names[][] = {
     {"000000", "Black"},
     {"000080", "Navy Blue"},
     {"0000C8", "Dark Blue"},
     {"0000FF", "Blue"},
        {"000741", "Stratos"},
     {"FFFFF0", "Ivory"},
     {"FFFFFF", "White"}
    };As you can see, they are pre-sorted by the hex values. That is useful for part of the app.
There are 1,567 entries. I would like to alphabetize the color names and place them in a list widget. I need to keep the associated hex color values with the name values. All I can think of to do something like:
1) make a temporary long 1-d string array
2) fill it by loop that appends the hex values to the name values: temp[i] = new String (names[1] + names[i][0])
3) sort temp[] with built in Java sort
4) make a permanent new string array, hexValues[] for the hex values
5) copy the last 6 characters of each item to hexValues[]
6) truncate the last 6 characters of each item in temp[]
7) build list widget with temp[]
Is there a more elegant way? What I'd really like to do is build a 1-d array of int's, with the values representing the alphabetized locations of the names. However, I don't see any built-in which would do that kind of indirect sort.
Second question -- Can the backgrounds of each item in a list widget be a different color? Ideally the list would show the color name in black or white, and the its color value as background. Specifically, I'm trying to build the list accomplished by the Javascript code here:
* http://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color/
and add it to my Java interactive color wheel:
* http://r0k.us/graphics/SIHwheel.html
BTW, I have converted his name that color Javascript (ntc.js) to a native Java class. It is freely distributable, and I host it here:
* http://r0k.us/source/ntc.java

Silly forum software; I can't see what made it go italic at the word new.

I am implementing a sort infrastructure along the lines of camickr's working example, above. Part of my problem is that I am new to both lists and collections. I've tried searching, and I cannot figure out why the compiler doesn't like my "new":
public class colorName implements Comparable<colorName>
    String     name, hex;
    int          hsi;
    static List<colorName> colorNames;
    public colorName(String name, String hex)
     float     hsb[] = {0f, 0f, 0f};
     int     rgb[] = {0, 0, 0};
     int     h, s, b;     // b for brightness, same as i
     this.name = name;
     this.hex = hex;
     // Now we need to calculate hsi,
     this.hsi = (h << 10) + (s << 6) + b; // hhhhhhssssiiiiii
    ***   findColorName() performs 3 functions. First, it
    *** will auto-initialize itself if necessary. Second,
    *** it will perform 3 sorts:
    ***   -3) byHSI: sort by HSI and return first element of sorted list
    ***   -2) byNAME: sort by name and return first element of list
    ***   -1) byHEX: (re)reads ntc.names, which is already sorted by HEX;
    ***               returns first element of list
    *** Third, on 0 or greater, will return the nth element of list
    *** Note: ntc.init() need not have been called.
    public colorName findColorName(int which)
     if (which < -3) which = -3;
     if (which >= ntc.names.length) which = ntc.names.length - 1;
     if (which == -1) colorNames = null;     // free up for garbage collection
     if (colorNames == null)
     {   // (re)create list
         colorNames = new ArrayList<colorName>(ntc.names.length);
         for (int i = 0; i < ntc.names.length; i++)
             colorNames.add(new colorName(ntc.names[1], ntc.names[0]));
        if (which == -1) return(colorNames.get(0));
}On compilation, I receive:
D:\progming\java\ntc>javac colorName.java
colorName.java:117: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor colorName(java.lang.String[],java.lang.String[])
location: class colorName
                colorNames.add(new colorName(ntc.names[1], ntc.names[0]));
                               ^
1 errorLine 117 is the second-to-last executable line in code block. I know it is finding the ntc.names[][] array the ntc.class file. I had forgotten to compile ntc.java, and there were other errors, such as in line 115 where it couldn't find ntc.names.length. Compare camickr's two lines:
          List<Person> people = new ArrayList<Person>();
          people.add( new Person("Homer", 38) );As far as I can tell, I'm doing exactly the same thing. If you have any other feedback, feel free to make it. The full source may be found at:
* http://r0k.us/rock/Junk/colorName.java
PS1: I know I don't need the parenthesis in my return's. It's an old habit, and they look funny to me without them.
PS2: My original design had the "static List<colorName> colorNames;" line defined within the findColorName() method. The compiler did not like that; it appears to be that one cannot have static variables within methods. Anyway, that's why I don't have separate sorting and getting methods. I'm learning; "static" does not mean, "keep this baby around". Its meaning is, "there is only one of these babies per class".

Destination Sorting Key - not sorting under load

I have configured a Destination Sorting Key on one of my JMS Queue and it is sorting based on JMSPriority set in the JMS Message Header. The sorting works fine when I test it with a few messages. I am firing messages with priority 9 and 4. When I run a load test with 50-60 messages(both 9&4) , I can see that sorting is happening but its not effective. I still get lower priority messages before the higher priority messages when I read the queue.
What i understand is that messages will be pushed as FIFO only but the Destination Sorting Key makes sure it changes the order of the messages in the queue itself before I read the messages.
Is it possible to sort the messages effectively in the Queue?
Regards,
Vinay Krishnan

I need more info in order to even attempt to answer the question.
Checking for kinds I started using a hashmapYep... That's how I'd do it... build a histogram = new Map<Card.Face,Integer>(); and check it for a pair, two pair, three of kind, flush, four of kind, and whatever else.... remembering the best hand at each stage.
I presume you're asking about this "weird" statement.
Sort the histogram by the count backwards (high values first).
Q: Is there a class that supports key value pairs and is sortable?
A: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/SortedMap.html
.... and dude you need to learn how to google. That was the first hit for "java sorted map".
One hint: Build your HashMap, then get a SortedMap when you're ready to query it in-order... I guess you'll want a "reverse-frequency-table"... i.e. from frequency to value.
Otherwise, I suppose I could create another object that contains two ArrayLists, one for keys and one for values, which I keep in sync, but that seems ugly.Yep parallel arrays (or ArrayLists) are uglier than [Amanda Vanstones|http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/08/02/amanda_vanstone_wideweb__430x276.jpg] ugly sister. Having said that they're not too totally horrible once they're "hidden" behind a facade.

For Loop Will Not Execute

catch (Exception exception) {System.out.println("Skipping reconciliation...");}
private static String getDay() throws Exception {

private static class LogFilter implements FileFilter {

*The problem*:
Ok, easy visual, this is the "log/" directory as I run the Log.java application repeatedly and iterate the date on my computer as I do so.
Thursday
*log/*
+Thursday.log+
Friday
*log/*
+Thursday.log+
+Friday.log+
Saturday
*log/*
+Thursday.log+
+Friday.log+
+Saturday.log+
Sunday
*log/*
+Friday.log+
+Saturday.log+
+Sunday.log+
Monday
*log/*
+Friday.log+
+Saturday.log+
+Monday.log+
This is the point at which I go ???
Turns out, the JRE skips the execution of my for loop in the *reconcile()* method when the date rolls over to Monday, and from then on it simply deletes the previous day's log instead of the oldest log.
Why? Who knows.
Things I have tried:
- Using another variable integer for the *readOnly()* method
- Removing the synchronized keyword from the *log(String param)* method
- Second call to *directory.listFiles(filter)* and setting *SIZE* to *3* after the old files have been set to read-only
- Removing the call to *readOnly()*
- Verified that the call to *readOnly()* does not alter the +modified+ date on the log files
- Changed Logger.java from a +static+ class to a +local+ class
Things I cannot do:
This log application stores privy information about end-users at locations across the country in the event that there are support issues that need to be resolved, and the agreement is that we store this information no more than three days. Just wanted to make sure, that the hopefully informed respondants to this issue, know that the obvious solution (storing seven day records), is unfortunately not available to me.

HA! Most excellent. The last place I would ever look.
Yes, seems like Java sorts the files in such a way that everything works fine without the loop until Monday rolls over.
Now I can have a better appreciation for that second set of eyes.
I use for loops so frequently that I never look at them (though I did stare at this one myself prior to this post, much to my chagrin now) but the subtracting iteration (which I use once in a blue moon) was necessary for the nature of the code.
But ok, up and running! (whew) was going to be a long day until now.
To answer your question though, the Logger is static so I don't have to pass it around to dozens and dozens of other modules but rather just include the package on the fly as I develop new modules that need to log information, and I like to write most mundane things myself if I can, that way I have the freedom to modify them at will.
Thanks again! I'm now a happy camper once more.
I'm also thankful that I don't have to chalk up another notch on the wall of cases where the JRE behaves magically and truly ignores code which I have definitely run into before. Something about listCellRenderers and the order of calls made to them, or some such and JRE doesn't read one of the lines. It's been a year or two.

Need help with advanced applet

I need help with designing an applet as follows. Can someone give me a basic layout of code and material so i can fill in the rest or at leats give me some hints so i can get started since i am like no good at applets.
Design and implement an applet that graphically displays the processing
of a selection sort. Use bars of various heights to represent
the values being sorted. Display the set of bars after each swap. Put
a delay in the processing of the sort to give the human observer a
chance to see how the order of the values changes.
heres a website that does something similar

Offline installation of Adobe Reader & Flash

We just spent the weekend at work running Windows update, office update and updating Java, Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader on all machines.
In the interest of not going insane and doing it again ever, I would like to create an auto update script for everything.
I am working on WSUS for the windows and office updates and have Java sorted, but I cant find any info on doing offline installs for Reader and Flash?
Can anyone tell me:
1) Where can I download an offline installation of both Flash & Reader
2) Where I can find info for command line installation/uninstallation.
thanks
DJMc

Thank you for reply Pat.
I did see v.10 of Acrobat in Greek but I really need v. 11 to be consistent. I also checked the MUI version of v.11 and it does not have Greek either.
Did Acrobat stop to support Greek Language?
Regards,
