java comparable接口作用_java比较器Comparable接口与Comaprator接口的深入分析

java的比较器有两类，分别是Comparable接口和Comparator接口。在为对象数组进行排序时，比较器的作用非常明显，首先来讲解Comparable接口。

让需要进行排序的对象实现Comparable接口，重写其中的compareTo(T o)方法，在其中定义排序规则，那么就可以直接调用java.util.Arrays.sort()来排序对象数组，实例如下：

class Student implements Comparable{

private String name;

private int age;

private float score;

public Student(String name, int age, float score) {

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

this.score = score;

}

public String toString()

{

return name+"\t\t"+age+"\t\t"+score;

}

@Override

public int compareTo(Student o) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

if(this.score>o.score)//score是private的，为什么能够直接调用,这是因为在Student类内部

return -1;//由高到底排序

else if(this.score

return 1;

else{

if(this.age>o.age)

return 1;//由底到高排序

else if(this.age

return -1;

else

return 0;

}

}

}

public class ComparableDemo01 {

/**

* @param args

*/

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

Student stu[]={new Student("zhangsan",20,90.0f),

new Student("lisi",22,90.0f),

new Student("wangwu",20,99.0f),

new Student("sunliu",22,100.0f)};

java.util.Arrays.sort(stu);

for(Student s:stu)

{

System.out.println(s);

}

}

}

程序运行结果:sunliu 22 100.0

wangwu 20 99.0

zhangsan 20 90.0

lisi 22 90.0

但是在设计类的时候，往往没有考虑到让类实现Comparable接口，那么我们就需要用到另外的一个比较器接口Comparator。

从上面的实例我们可以发现，compareTo(T o)只有一个参数，而Comparator接口中必须要实现的compare(T o1,T o2)就有两个参数。

代码实例：

package edu.sjtu.ist.comutil;

import java.util.Comparator;

class Student {

private String name;

private int age;

private float score;

public Student(String name, int age, float score) {

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

this.score = score;

}

public String getName() {

return name;

}

public void setName(String name) {

this.name = name;

}

public int getAge() {

return age;

}

public void setAge(int age) {

this.age = age;

}

public float getScore() {

return score;

}

public void setScore(float score) {

this.score = score;

}

public String toString()

{

return name+"\t\t"+age+"\t\t"+score;

}

}

class StudentComparator implements Comparator{

@Override

public int compare(Student o1, Student o2) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

if(o1.getScore()>o2.getScore())

return -1;

else if(o1.getScore()

return 1;

else{

if(o1.getAge()>o2.getAge())

return 1;

else if(o1.getAge()

return -1;

else

return 0;

}

}

}

public class ComparableDemo02 {

/**

* @param args

*/

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

Student stu[]={new Student("zhangsan",20,90.0f),

new Student("lisi",22,90.0f),

new Student("wangwu",20,99.0f),

new Student("sunliu",22,100.0f)};

java.util.Arrays.sort(stu,new StudentComparator());

for(Student s:stu)

{

System.out.println(s);

}

}

}
