Thread: can't figure out how to sort an array.

help! i can't figure out to sort an array. i think you're supposed to do it like this:

public int centeredAverage(int[] nums) 
{
    sort([nums.length - 2] sortedList);
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 1; i < nums.length - 1; i++)
    {
       sum = sum + nums[i];
       sortedList = sort[nums];
    }
    int average = sum / sortedList.length;
    return average;
}

what have i done wrong here? it won't compile

Where is your sort method defined? If you don't need to implement your own sorting method, just use Arrays Sort Method

The first responder is correct, but I hope you're not forced to use a JDK release as old as JDK 1.4.2. This is a link to a more recent version: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html#sort%28int[]%29
