Method Details

randomize

public static <E> Vector<E> randomize(Vector<E> vector)

Randomizes the elements of the vector.

Type Parameters:

E - The type of element stored in the vector.

Parameters:

vector - The vector to be randomized.

Returns:

The same vector, randomized.

sort

public static <E> void sort(Vector<E> vector)

Sorts a vector containing Comparable objects using a quicksort algorithm.

Type Parameters:

E - The type of element stored in the vector.

Parameters:

vector - The vector to be sorted.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if an element in the vector does not implement Comparable.
