Hi,

I have this code:

String[] s= {"Mark","Steve","Pete"};
s=Arrays.sort(s);

The 2nd line has an error saying:
incompatible types
found : void
required: java.lang.String[]
s=Arrays.sort(s);
^
1 error

Why?

Thanks.

sort doesn't have a return value. Arrays are muttable, this allows the
array you pass in as a param to be sorted after the method call.
