Hello,

Thanks to those replied to the other thread I started - guess I was
being too 'clever' with using methods.

Can you please tell me why this code won't _compile_?

import java.util.*;

class InputCounter {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
	final int MAX_NUMBERS = 50;
	int[] array = new int[MAX_NUMBERS];
	Arrays.sort(array, Collections.reverseOrder());
    }
}

TIA,
Fred
