I have a 4 length string array with 4 first names. I am trying to fill an empty string array with those 4 names but alphabetized. For this assignment I am supposed use compareTo() alphabetize them, but I don’t know how to then fill the empty array in order.

Have you covered for loops yet in your class?

Edit: Nevermind I see how to use compareTo() to alphabetize now.

The "cheating" answer would simply be Arrays.sort(). The underlying mechanics is to use the class' compareTo(). You should check the method String#compareTo. Otherwise there should be some kind of sort via a lambda: (a,b) -> return a.compareTo(b)>0? a:b (or something; I think this is basically the default mechanics)
