How to sort arraylist of strings alphabetically java

1.Basic Java example program to sort arraylist of strings

1. package com.javasortarraylistofobjects;
2.  
3. import java.util.ArrayList;
4. import java.util.Collections;
5. import java.util.Iterator;
6.  
7. public class SortArrayList{
8.  
9. public static void main(String[] args) {
10.   
11. //create an ArrayList object
12. ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList();
13.        
14. //Add elements to Arraylist
15.         
16. arrayList.add("A"); 
17. arrayList.add("C");
18. arrayList.add("D");
19. arrayList.add("Z");
20. arrayList.add("F");
21. arrayList.add("J");
22. arrayList.add("K");
23. arrayList.add("M");
24. arrayList.add("L");
25. arrayList.add("O");
26.        
27.         
28.  System.out.println("Before sorting ArrayList ...");
29.  Iterator itr=arrayList.iterator();
30.         
31. while (itr.hasNext()) {
32.  
33. System.out.println(itr.next());
34.      
35. }
36.  
37.        
38.  /*
39.  To sort an ArrayList object, use Collection.sort method. This is a
40.   static method. It sorts an ArrayList object's elements into ascending order.
41. */
42.   Collections.sort(arrayList);
43.      
44.   System.out.println("After sorting ArrayList ...");
45.        
46.     
47.         
48. Iterator itr1=arrayList.iterator();
49.         
50. while (itr1.hasNext()) {
51. 
    
52. System.out.println(itr1.next());
53.             
54. }

How to find largest element in an array with index and value using array

How to find largest element in an array with index and value using array?

package com.inofjava;
public class Array {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int arr[]={1,120,56,78,87};
int largest=arr[0];
int smallest=arr[0];
int small=0;
int index=0;

for(int i=1;i<arr.length;i++){

if(arr[i]>largest){

largest=arr[i];
index=i;

}
else if(smallest>arr[i]){

smallest=arr[i];
small=i;

}
}

System.out.println(largest);
System.out.println(index);
System.out.println(smallest);
System.out.println(small);

}

}


Output:
120

Encapsulation in java with example program

What is meant by encapsulation in java? 

• Binding the data with its related functionalities known as encapsulation
• Here data means variables and functionalities means methods.
• So keeping the variable and related methods in one place.
• That place is "class". class is the base for encapsulation.
• Lets see example program on encapsulation, how the variables and methods defined in a class

What is encapsulation in object oriented programming?

Basic java example program on data encapsulation:

1. package com.java;
2.  
3. public class EncapsulationDemo {
4.  
5.   String name;
6.   int rno;
7.   String address;
8.  
9. public String getName() {
10.        return name;
11.  }
12.  
13. public void setName(String name) {
14.         this.name = name;
15. } 
16. 
    
17. public int getRno() {
18.        return rno;
19. }
20.  
21. public void setRno(int rno) {
22.      this.rno = rno;
23. }
24.  
25. public String getAddress() {
26.         return address;
27. }
28.  
29.  public void setAddress(String address) {
30.     this.address = address;
31. }
32.  
33. public void showInfo(){
34.  
35.       System.out.println("Name: "+getName());
36.       System.out.println("R.No: "+getRno());
37.       System.out.println("Name: "+getAddress());
38.  
39.     }
40. }

Class:

The above example program shows how the variables and methods will be there in a class.

So class is the base for encapsulation

class is user defined data type in java means by using class we can structure our own programs.

Lest see a example program on class.

1. package com.java;
2.  
3. public class ClassDemo {
4.  
5.     //variables of a class
6.    String empName;
7.    int empId;
8.    String Designation;
9.  
10.  //getter and setter methods for variables 
11.  //by using these methods we can set the value to the variable and gat the value from the
12.  //variables
13.  
14.  public String getEmpName() {
15.         return empName;
16. }
17.  
18.  public void setEmpName(String empName) {
19.       this.empName = empName;
20. }
21.  
22. public int getEmpId() {
23.        return empId;
24. }
25.  
26. public void setEmpId(int empId) {
27.         this.empId = empId;
28. }
29. 
    
30. public String getDesignation() {
31.         return Designation;
32. }
33.  
34.  public void setDesignation(String designation) {
35.         Designation = designation;
36. }
37. 
    
38. }

Object:

Instance of class is known as object.

Instance means dynamic memory allocation. So dynamic memory allocation to class is called object.

By using "new" keyword the object will be created dynamically.

Class is a template. By using object we will get memory for all variables so that we can use them.

We can create number of objects for one class based on our requirements.

Below an example program on class and object.

1. package com.java; 
2.  
3. public class User {
4.  
5.    String Name;
6.     int Id;
7.     String address;
8.  
9.  public String getName() {
10.      return Name;
11. }
12.  
13. public void setName(String name) {
14.         Name = name;
15. }
16.  
17. public int getId() {
18.       return Id;
19. }
20.  
21. public void setId(int id) {
22.        Id = id;
23. }
24.  
25. public String getAddress() {
26.         return address;
27. }
28.  
29. public void setAddress(String address) {
30.         this.address = address;
31. }
32.  
33. public static void main(String [] args){
34.  
35.        User obj= new User();
36.  
37.         obj.setName("sai");
38.         obj.setId(1);
39.         obj.setAddress("xyz");
40.  
41.         System.out.println(obj.getName());
42.         System.out.println(obj.getId());
43.         System.out.println(obj.getAddress());
44.  
45.     }
46. }

Output:

1. sai
2. 1
3. xyz
