ArrayList question

[V Bose]

How do I stuff all the elements of a double array into a Collection and then sort them, in Java 1.5

The following throws a runtime class cast exception...

.
.
.
double[] mArray;
.
.
.
List mList = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(mArray));
Collections.sort(mArray)

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

Indeed. Why not use the static sort() methods in the java.util.Arrays class instead?

[Layne Lund]

First, I'd like to say that Ernest's suggestion is the best since you don't have to create any extra objects. With that said, I'm surprised that your code compiles! Collections.sort() takes a List argument not an array. You can fix this by doing

Collections.sort([B]mList[/B]);

instead.

I am assuming here, but V Bose is very close to Verbose, that is why I believe that this might not be your real name.
