Write a program to allow the user to enter integers into a two-dimensional array of size M × N.
The size of the rows and columns is also entered by the user.
Display the original matrix.
Now sort the integers column-wise in ascending order in the matrix, and display the resultant matrix.
Sorting in the matrix itself
import java.io.*;
class SortColumns{
public static void main(String args[])throws IOException{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Number of rows: ");
int m = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
System.out.print("Number of columns: ");
int n = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
int a[][] = new int[m][n];
System.out.println("Enter array elements:");
for(int i = 0; i < m; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < n; j++){
a[i][j] = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
}
}
System.out.println("Original matrix:");
for(int i = 0; i < m; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < n; j++){
System.out.print(a[i][j] + "\t");
}
System.out.println();
}
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < m; j++){
for(int k = 0; k < m - 1 - j; k++){
if(a[k][i] > a[k + 1][i]){
int temp = a[k][i];
a[k][i] = a[k + 1][i];
a[k + 1][i] = temp;
}
}
}
}
System.out.println("Sorted matrix:");
for(int i = 0; i < m; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < n; j++){
System.out.print(a[i][j] + "\t");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Sorting in a separate array
import java.io.*;
class SortColumns{
public static void main(String args[])throws IOException{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Number of rows: ");
int m = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
System.out.print("Number of columns: ");
int n = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
if(m < 3 || m > 9 || n < 3 || n > 9){
System.out.println("Size out of range!");
return;
}
int a[][] = new int[m][n];
System.out.println("Enter array elements:");
for(int i = 0; i < m; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < n; j++){
a[i][j] = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
}
}
System.out.println("Original matrix:");
for(int i = 0; i < m; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < n; j++){
System.out.print(a[i][j] + "\t");
}
System.out.println();
}
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
int t[] = new int[m];
for(int j = 0; j < m; j++){
t[j] = a[j][i];
}
for(int p = 0; p < t.length; p++){
for(int q = 0; q < t.length - 1 - p; q++){
if(t[q] > t [q + 1]){
int temp = t[q];
t[q] = t[q + 1];
t[q + 1] = temp;
}
}
}
for(int j = 0; j < m; j++){
a[j][i] = t[j];
}
}
System.out.println("Sorted matrix:");
for(int i = 0; i < m; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < n; j++){
System.out.print(a[i][j] + "\t");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

1)Class Binary contains an array of n integers (n<=100) that are already arranged in ascending order. The
subscripts of the array elements vary from 0 to n-1. The data members and member functions of class
Binary are given below:
Class name : Binary
Data members
A[] : integer array of 100 elements
n : size of array
l location of the lower bound
u : location of the upper bound
Member functions:
Binary(int nn) : constructor to initialize the size n to nn and the
other instance variables.
void readdata() : to fill the elements of the array in ascending order.
intbinary_search(int v) : returns the location of the value(v) to be
searched in the list by binary search method
using the recursive technique. The function
returns -1 if the number is not present in the
given list.
a) Specify the class Binary giving details of the constructor, void readdata() and
int binary_search(int). Write main() method
b) State the base case in the recursive technique binary_search().
c) What are the drawbacks of using the recursive technique.
2) A transpose of an array is obtained by interchanging the elements of rows and columns. A class
Transarray contains a two dimensional integer array of order [ m x n]. The maximum value possible for
both ‘m’ and ‘n’ is 20. Design a class Transarray to find the transpose of a given matrix. The details of the
members of the class are given below:
Class name : Trasarray
Data members
arr[][] : stores the matrix elements
m : integer to store the number of rows.
n : integer to store the number of columns.
Member functions
Transarray() : default constructor.
Transarray(intmm,intnn) : to inititalize the size of the matrix, m=mm,n=nn.
voidfillarray() : to enter elements into the matrix.
void transpose(Transarray A) : to find the transpose of a given matrix.
voiddisaparray() : displays the array in a matrix form.
Specify the class Transarray giving details of the constructors, void fillarray(), void transpose(Transarray)
and void disparray(). write the main function also.

Here is the program that solves binary search problem using recursion.
Sample Input & Output for the above program I sent is given:
M = 4
N = 3
Enter elements of matrix:
11
-2
3
5
16
7
9
0
4
3
1
8
Original Matrix:
11 -2 3
5 16 7
9 0 4
3 1 8
Matrix after sorting columns:
3 -2 3
5 0 4
9 1 7
11 16 8
How to solve the program by creating a single dimensional array and passing each elements in the column in a single dimensional array?
Refer to the second program in this post for sorting columns in a matrix using a separate one-dimensional array.
Can you show me the way how to write the program which I had mentioned?
Sure. I will soon be uploading it on my website.
Sir,a program is given which states that
Write a program to allow the user to enter integers into a two-dimensional array of size M × N.
The size of the rows and columns is also entered by the user.(M & N must be greater than 2 and less than 10)
Display the original matrix.
Now sort the integers column-wise in ascending order in the matrix, and display the resultant matrix.
