	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		String[] strArr = {"JAVA", "C++", "PERL", "STRUTS", "PLAY"};
		Arrays.sort(strArr,new Comparator<String>(){

			@Override
			public int compare(String o1, String o2) {
				return o1.compareTo(o2);
			}});
		
		for(String str:strArr){
			System.out.println(str);
