Array sorting
int array1[] = previouslyDefinedArray;
Arrays.sort(array1);
is this suppose to make changes also in previouslyDefinedArray? somehow it does in my project..
i want previouslyDefinedArray to be unchanged bet somehow after sorting array1 previouslyDefinedArray is also sorted. where am I wrong?

Re: Array sorting
You aren't copying the array, you're copying the reference to the array. So both variables still point to the same array.

Re: Array sorting
Please explain.cloning did work
Your code looks like there are two reference variables that point to one array.
Re: Array sorting
Yeah, I think what he's saying is that he cloned the array, copied it into the second variable, then passed that into the sort method- which worked.Originally Posted by Norm
