Method Detail

sort

public static void sort(java.lang.String[] a)

Rearranges the array of extended ASCII strings in ascending order. This is an unstable sorting algorithm.

Parameters:

a - the array to be sorted

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Reads in a sequence of extended ASCII strings from standard input; in-place MSD radix sorts them; and prints them to standard output in ascending order.

Parameters:

args - the command-line arguments
