Thread: please help me in my assignment :(

Here's the program: Write a class Sort. that allows you to input three string names and output at ascending order...
here's my code...i dont know what's wrong with this..please help me guys..im just a beginner at all..im still learning...

import java.util.*;
 
public class Sort {
 
	public static void main (String []args){
	Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
 
	String name1, name2, name3;
 
	System.out.println("Enter name1: ");
	name1= console.nextLine();
	System.out.println("Enter name2: ");
	name2= console.nextLine();
	System.out.println("Enter name3: ");
	name3= console.nextLine();
 
	int x = name1.compareTo(name2);
	int y = name2.compareTo(name3);
	int z= name3.compareTo(name2);
 
 
	if (x< 0)
 
		System.out.println(name1);
			{
				if(x> 0)
				System.out.println(name2);
			}
 
	if (y< 0)
		System.out.println(name2);
			{
			if (y>0)
			System.out.println(name3);
			}	
	if (z < 0 )
		System.out.println(name3);
			{
			if (z< 0 )
			System.out.println(name1);
 
			}
 
		}
}

You could always do it like this:

import java.util.*;
 
public class Sort {
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		String[] names = new String[3];
 
		System.out.println("Enter name1: ");
		names[0] = console.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Enter name2: ");
		names[1] = console.nextLine();
		System.out.println("Enter name3: ");
		names[2] = console.nextLine();
 
		Arrays.sort(names);
 
		for (int a = 0; a < names.length; a++) {
			System.out.println(names[a]);
		}
 
	}
}
