And Say I have an Array

int[] cars=new int[200];

And it has a few random values.

I also have Other Array carname[]

String[] carname = new String[200];

What I want is when Array cars is Sorted the other Array carname is
also sorted.

Say cars[5]; is highest value and is at Top position then I want
carname[5] String also to be sorted to first place.

If I use Arrays.sort(cars) How will I update the corresponding Array
carsname[] So that both are Sorted Simultaniously

Make a class that associates the two concepts. Do not keep them in separate
arrays with no logical connection.

List<Integer> cars = new LinkedList<Integer>();

I am getting Compilation error "value needed" May be I need JDK 1.5
for using above code and is not supported in JDK 1.3?

Generics were introduced in Java 5. Java 1.3 was retired some time ago. Java
1.4 will be retired this year.

Even Java 5 will enter End-of-Life this year.

Have you looked at the Sun Java web sites? All this information is there.

It's amazingly useful to read the documentation.
