java Comparable和Comparator接口的使用实例

1. 在对象list或者对象数组需要排序的时候会用到这两种接口，对象list排序使用Collections.sort()，对象数组排序使用Arrays.sort()
2. Comparable实例

package com.yixun.cn;

public class Person implements Comparable<Person> {
    private Integer id;
    private Integer age;
    private String name;

    public Person(Integer id, Integer age, String name) {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.age = age;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Integer getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(Integer age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Person [id=" + id + ", age=" + age + ", name=" + name + "]";
    }

    @Override
    public int compareTo(Person o) {
        // 先按照年龄排序，年龄相等则按照id排序
        if (this.age == o.getAge()) {
            return this.id - o.getId();
        } else {
            return this.age - o.getAge();
        }
    }

}

package com.yixun.cn;

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

public class TestDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Person> li = new ArrayList<Person>();

        li.add(new Person(1, 21, "张三"));
        li.add(new Person(2, 22, "李四"));
        li.add(new Person(3, 23, "王五"));
        li.add(new Person(4, 24, "麻六"));
        li.add(new Person(7, 25, "赵七"));
        li.add(new Person(6, 25, "马八"));

        Collections.sort(li);
        for (Person person : li) {
            System.out.println(person);
        }
    }

}

3. Comparator实例

package com.yixun.cn;

public class Person1 {
    private Integer id;
    private Integer age;
    private String name;

    public Person1(Integer id, Integer age, String name) {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.age = age;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Integer getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(Integer age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Person [id=" + id + ", age=" + age + ", name=" + name + "]";
    }
}

package com.yixun.cn;

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

public class TestDemo1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Person1> li = new ArrayList<Person1>();

        li.add(new Person1(1, 21, "张三"));
        li.add(new Person1(2, 22, "李四"));
        li.add(new Person1(3, 23, "王五"));
        li.add(new Person1(4, 24, "麻六"));
        li.add(new Person1(7, 25, "赵七"));
        li.add(new Person1(6, 25, "马八"));

        Collections.sort(li, new Comparator<Person1>() {
            @Override
            public int compare(Person1 o1, Person1 o2) {
                if (o1.getAge() == o2.getAge()) {
                    return o1.getId() - o2.getId();
                } else {
                    return o1.getAge() - o2.getAge();
                }
            }
        });

        for (Person1 person1 : li) {
            System.out.println(person1);
        }
    }

}

4. 两者区别

Comparable是内部比较器，Comparator是外部比较器，两者的适用场景有区别。如果是对自定义的类进行排序，这两个比较器都可以使用；如果是引入的第三方的jar中的类，由于这样的类不能被修改，要想对这样的类进行排序，那么必须使用Comparator接口来实现。
