    Default Sorting BigInteger Arrays

    Hello all. I am currently working on Project Euler problem 29, which involves me needing a BigInteger array and sorting it somehow. I have been able to do

    * Array.sort(arrayname); *

    in past codes, but Eclipse is telling me that I can't do this with my BigInteger array. Is there any reason for this? And is there a way to get around it or fix it? Thank you!

    EDIT: I have already imported java.util.Arrays

    Instead of Array, you can use collections. and use the sort method of collections.
    By the way, I used double in that problem, and it works fine.

    Correction. There is a sort method for array, sort(array, Comparator) just create a new Object of Comparator for sorting
