Scala - Sorting a Vector (Using sorted() Method)

Here, we will create an object of Vector collection. Then we will sort the elements of the vector using the sorted() method and printed the sorted vector on the console screen.

The Vector is an immutable data structure. We can access vector elements randomly. It extends an abstract class AbstractSeq and IndexedSeq trait. We use the Vector collection to store a large number of elements.

Scala code to sort the elements of the vector using the sorted() method

The source code to sort the elements of the vector using the sorted() method is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to sort the element of vector
// using sorted() method

import scala.collection.immutable._

object Sample {
  // Main method
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    var vector = Vector(50, 20, 40, 30, 10);

    var sortedVector = vector.sorted;

    println("Sorted vector:");
    sortedVector.foreach((item: Int) => print(item + " "));
    println();
  }
}

Output

Sorted vector:
10 20 30 40 50 

Explanation

Here, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. And, we imported Collection classes using the below statement,

import scala.collection.immutable._

And, we also created a singleton object Sample and defined the main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the main() function, we created a vector vector using Vector collection. Then we sorted the elements of the vector in ascending order using the sorted() method. After that, we printed the sorted vector on the console screen.
