I have to write a method with a heading
publicstaticint [] findTopFiveMostSteps ( ArrayList [] temp )
i will input an array of arraylists, and I have to write this method
that will return a integer array containing the top five number in that
array of arraylists.
I have no idea how to go on about this
please help

Socrates would be so proud.
I was just reminiscing about how I once tried to teach Java to the web designer
at my last job. I gave him the task of writing:
static int max(int[] values)
He just didn't grok it:
Me: How would you figure it out by hand?
WD: I'd look at the numbers and pick the biggest.
Me: Break that down into steps.
WD: I'd -- look -- at -- the -- numbers -- and -- pick -- the -- biggest.
In the end, we tacitly agreed to stop the teaching and hope the manager didn't notice.
