5.3 Lists — smallest after sorting

Total: 0 / 3 pts

Practice mode — check each part and get hints as you go.

Task

Fill in smallest so that it returns the alphabetically first word of the list.

Sort first, then take index 0. The program prints apple, and then the list itself — now sorted, because Collections.sort changes it in place.

Your solution

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;

public class Main {

    public static String smallest(ArrayList<String> list) {
        // sort the list, then take the first element

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ArrayList<String> l = new ArrayList<String>();
        l.add("pear"); l.add("apple"); l.add("fig");
        System.out.println(smallest(l));
        System.out.println(l);
    }
}
