Java 的Comparable 和 Comparator

定义

顾名思义，Comparator是比较器，用于集合类排序时的参数，不需要在类中添加额外的代码

Comparable,可比较的，为一个比较的接口，类需要实现这个接口。集合类排序时候根据此类的compareTo 方法比较大小。

实现Comparable接口

下面demo为实现Comparable接口的方式，类内部需要实现compareTo 方法

package javaecho;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class MainClass implements Cloneable
{
	
	public static void main(String args[]) throws CloneNotSupportedException
	{
		User u1 = new User(18,"allen");
		User u2 = new User(20,"jack");
		User[] list = {u2,u1};
		for (User u :list)
			System.out.println(u.getName());
		Arrays.sort(list);
		for (User u :list)
			System.out.println(u.getName());
	}
}

class User implements Comparable<User>
{
	private int age;
	private String name;
	public User(int age,String name)
	{
		this.age= age;
		this.name =name;
	}
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	@Override
	public int compareTo(User arg0) {
		if(this.age>arg0.getAge())
			return 1;
		else if (this.age<arg0.getAge())
			return -1;
		else
			return 0;
	}
	
	public boolean equals(Object arg0)
	{
		return true;
	}
}

使用Comparator比较器

比较器的好处是灵活，无需在类中实现代码。但在集合类排序的时候，或者构造有序类集合时，需要作为参数传人进去。

package javaecho;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;

public class MainClass implements Cloneable
{
	
	public static void main(String args[]) throws CloneNotSupportedException
	{
		User u1 = new User(18,"allen");
		User u2 = new User(20,"jack");
		User[] list = {u2,u1};
		for (User u :list)
			System.out.println(u.getName());
		Arrays.sort(list, new Comparator<User>(){

			@Override
			public int compare(User arg0, User arg1) {
				return arg0.getAge()> arg1.getAge() ? 1: (arg0.getAge()==arg1.getAge() ? 0: -1);
			}
			
		}
		);
		for (User u :list)
			System.out.println(u.getName());
	}
}

class User
{
	private int age;
	private String name;
	public User(int age,String name)
	{
		this.age= age;
		this.name =name;
	}
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
}
