Java 比较器

面试题:请解释Comparable和Comparator的区别?(或 请解释两种比较器的区别?)

1:如果对象数组要进行排序，那么必须设置排序规则,可以使用Comparable和Comparator接口实现;
2:是在一个类定义的时候实现好的接口，这样本类的对象数组就可以进行排序，在Comparable实现compareTo(Object o)方法；
3：是专门定义一个指定类的比较规则，属于挽救的比较操作，在Comparator实现compare(Object o1, Object o2)方法;

可以用代码学习:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;

public class CompareTest {

/**
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<Student> list = new ArrayList<Student>(10);
    list.add(new Student(1, "jj"));
    list.add(new Student(0, "ww"));
    list.add(new Student(0, "kk"));
    list.add(new Student(2, "ll"));
    Collections.sort(list); //内部比较器:要排序的对象实现Comparable接口,可以对自身进行比较
    System.out.println(list);


    List<Teacher> t = new ArrayList<Teacher>(10);
    t.add(new Teacher(1, 12));
    t.add(new Teacher(0, 13));
    t.add(new Teacher(0, 14));
    t.add(new Teacher(2, 15));
    Collections.sort(t, new StudentComparator());//外部比较器:通过实现Comparator接口
    System.out.println(t);
}
}

public class Student implements Comparable{
   int num;
   String name;

public Student(int num, String name) {
    this.num = num;
    this.name = name;
}

@Override
public String toString() {
    return "\r\tnum:"+num+"name:"+name+"\r";
}

@Override
public int compareTo(Object o) {
    Student tmp = (Student)o;
    int  result = tmp.num > num ? 1 : (tmp.num == num ? 0 : -1);
    if (result == 0) {
        result = tmp.name.indexOf(0)>name.indexOf(0)?1:-1;
    }
    return result;
}
}

public class Teacher {

int num;
double salary;

public Teacher(int i, double j) {
    this.num = i;
    this.salary = j;
}

@Override
public String toString() {
    return "\r\tnum:"+num+"salary:"+salary+"\r";
}
 }

public class StudentComparator implements Comparator{

@Override
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
    Teacher t1 = (Teacher) o1;
    Teacher t2 = (Teacher) o2;
    int result = t1.num > t2.num ? 1 : (t1.num == t2.num ? 0 : -1);
    return result = result == 0 ? (t1.salary<t2.salary ? 1: -1):result;
}
}
