  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //creating an unsorted float array
    float MyArr[] = {10f, 2f, -3f, 35f, 56f};

    //printing array before sorting
    System.out.print("MyArr contains:"); 
    for(float i: MyArr)
      System.out.print(" " + i);

    //sort the array
    Arrays.sort(MyArr);

    //printing array after sorting
    System.out.print("\nMyArr contains:"); 
    for(float i: MyArr)
      System.out.print(" " + i);   
  }
}
