    Arrays.asList(5,3,1,2,9,5,0,7)
);

List<Integer> head = numbers.subList(0, 4);
List<Integer> tail = numbers.subList(4, 8);
System.out.println(head); // prints "[5, 3, 1, 2]"
System.out.println(tail); // prints "[9, 5, 0, 7]"

Collections.sort(head);
System.out.println(numbers); // prints "[1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 5, 0, 7]"

tail.add(-1);
System.out.println(numbers); // prints "[1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 5, 0, 7, -1]"
