This program is used to Sort the 2D array Across rows. We will use the concept of vector to sort each row.

Vector

 Vector(): Creates a default vector of the initial capacity is 10.

Vector<E> v = new Vector<E>();

Functions we will use in this:

1. removeAll(): The java.util.vector.removeAll(Collection col) method is used to remove all the elements from the vector, present in the collection specified.

Syntax:

Vector.removeAll(Vector) 

2. Collections.sort(): This method is used to sort the vector.

Syntax:

Collections.sort(Vector)

3. add(): This adds up elements in the vector.

Syntax:

Vector.add(value)

4. get(): This method will get an element of Vector stored at a particular index.

Syntax:

Vector.get(element);

Algorithm:

  1. Traverse each row one by one.
  2. Add elements of Row 1 in vector v.
  3. Sort the vector.
  4. Push back the sorted elements from vector to row.
  5. Empty the vector by removing all elements for fresh sorting.
  6. Repeat the above steps until all rows are done.

Implementation:

Example

Java




// Java Program to Sort the 2D array Across Rows
 
// Importing required libraries
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
 
// Main class
public class GFG {
 
    // Main driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws java.lang.Exception
    {
 
        // Custom input 2D matrix
        int[][] arr = { { 1, 8, 4, 7, 3 },
                        { 8, 3, 1, 7, 5 },
                        { 6, 2, 0, 7, 1 },
                        { 2, 6, 4, 1, 9 } };
 
        // Display message only
        System.out.println("Matrix without sorting \n");
 
        // Print and display the matrix before sorting
        // using nested for loops
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
 
            for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
                // Printing the matrix elements
                System.out.print(arr[i][j] + " ");
            }
 
            // New line as we are finished with one row
            System.out.println();
        }
 
        // New line for better readability
        System.out.println();
 
        // Creating an object of Vector class
        Vector<Integer> v = new Vector<>();
 
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
 
            for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
                // Adding elements of row in vector
                v.add(arr[i][j]);
            }
 
            // Elements in vector gets sorted
            Collections.sort(v);
            for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
 
                // Sorted elements are pushed back from
                // vector to row
                arr[i][j] = v.get(j);
            }
 
            // Elements are removed from vector for fresh
            // sorting
            v.removeAll(v);
        }
 
        // Display message only
        System.out.println("Matrix after sorting \n");
 
        // Print and display the matrix after sorting
        // using nested for loops
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
 
            for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
 
                // Printing the matrix elements
                System.out.print(arr[i][j] + " ");
            }
 
            // New line as we are finished with one row
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}


Output

Matrix without sorting 

1 8 4 7 3 
8 3 1 7 5 
6 2 0 7 1 
2 6 4 1 9 

Matrix after sorting 

1 3 4 7 8 
1 3 5 7 8 
0 1 2 6 7 
1 2 4 6 9
