Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static void`	`main(String[] args)`	Reads in a sequence of fixed-length strings from standard input; LSD radix sorts them; and prints them to standard output in ascending order.
`static void`	`sort(int[] a)`	Rearranges the array of 32-bit integers in ascending order.
`static void`	`sort(String[] a, int w)`	Rearranges the array of w-character strings in ascending order.

- Method Detail
  - sort
```
public static void sort(String[] a,
                        int w)
```
    Rearranges the array of w-character strings in ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - the array to be sorted
    
    w - the number of characters per string
  - sort
```
public static void sort(int[] a)
```
    Rearranges the array of 32-bit integers in ascending order. This is about 2-5x faster than Arrays.sort().
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - the array to be sorted
  - main
```
public static void main(String[] args)
```
    Reads in a sequence of fixed-length strings from standard input; LSD radix sorts them; and prints them to standard output in ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    args - the command-line arguments
