Sorting String Array

[Tempora Telora]

Simple question. Trying to sort a array of strings need to use ignorecase command. When I try and run it keeps stating that it is expecting one type and recieving another.

x[i].comparetoignorecase((string) y[i])

I know its not right but it is close any ideas?

a slightly different way

    
import java.util.*;
class Testing
{
  public Testing()
  {
    String[] str1 = {"B","b","A","a","C","c"};
    String[] str2 = {"B","b","A","a","C","c"};
    String[] str3 = {"B","b","A","a","C","c"};
    Arrays.sort(str1);
    Collections.sort(Arrays.asList(str2),new CompCase());
    Collections.sort(Arrays.asList(str3),new CompIgnoreCase());
    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(str1));
    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(str2));
    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(str3));
  }
  public static void main(String[] args){new Testing();}
}
class CompCase implements Comparator
{
  public int compare(Object o1, Object o2)
  {
    return ((String)o1).compareTo((String)o2);
  }
}
class CompIgnoreCase implements Comparator
{
  public int compare(Object o1, Object o2)
  {
    return (((String)o1).toLowerCase()).compareTo(((String)o2).toLowerCase());
  }
}

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

Java is case-sensitive, so writing "compareToIgnoreCase" as "comparetoignorecase" and "String" as "string" can cause all sorts of interesting error messages. Consult the Java API docs and try to get all the capitalization right, and see if that doesn't improve things.
