首先讲一下Comparable接口和Comparator接口,以及他们之间的差异。有助于Collections.sort()方法的使用。请参考
1.Comparable自然规则排序
//在自定义类Student里面实现Comparable接口,并重写抽象方法compareTo(Student o);//Collections.sort(集合);先看一个简单的例子:
public static void main(String[] args) { List<Integer> nums = new ArrayList<Integer>(); nums.add(3); nums.add(5); nums.add(1); nums.add(0); System.out.println(nums); Collections.sort(nums); System.out.println(nums); } 输出结果:[3, 5, 1, 0][0, 1, 3, 5]稍微复杂的List里面放一个复杂的对象
package core.java.collection.collections; public class User implements Comparable<User>{ private int score; private int age; public User(int score, int age){ super(); this.score = score; this.age = age; } public int getScore() { return score; } public void setScore(int score) { this.score = score; } public int getAge() { return age; } public void setAge(int age) { this.age = age; } @Override public int compareTo(User o) { int i = this.getAge() - o.getAge();//先按照年龄排序 if(i == 0){ return this.score - o.getScore();//如果年龄相等了再用分数进行排序 } return i; } } public static void main(String[] args) { List<User> users = new ArrayList<User>(); users.add(new User(78, 26)); users.add(new User(67, 23)); users.add(new User(34, 56)); users.add(new User(55, 23)); Collections.sort(users); for(User user : users){ System.out.println(user.getScore() + "," + user.getAge()); } } 输出结果:55,2367,2378,2634,56我们会发现sort(List<T>)方法中List中的T必须实现Comparable<T>接口,然后实现compareTo()方法,该方法的返回值0代表相等,1表示大于,-1表示小于;为什么在简单例子中没有看到实现Comparable接口呢?是因为Integer类其实自己已经实现了Comparable接口,Java已经给我们做好了。
2.Comparator专门规则排序(l临时排序)
//新建一个实现了Comparator接口的类,并重写抽象方法compare(Student o1, Student o2);//Collections.sort(集合,实现了Comparator接口的类的实例化对象);Collections提供的第二种排序方法sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c)
先看例子:package core.java.collection.collections; public class Students { private int age; private int score; public Students(int age, int score){ super(); this.age = age; this.score = score; } public int getAge() { return age; } public void setAge(int age) { this.age = age; } public int getScore() { return score; } public void setScore(int score) { this.score = score; } } public static void main(String[] args) { List<Students> students = new ArrayList<Students>(); students.add(new Students(23, 100)); students.add(new Students(27, 98)); students.add(new Students(29, 99)); students.add(new Students(29, 98)); students.add(new Students(22, 89)); Collections.sort(students, new Comparator<Students>() { @Override public int compare(Students o1, Students o2) { int i = o1.getScore() - o2.getScore(); if(i == 0){ return o1.getAge() - o2.getAge(); } return i; } }); for(Students stu : students){ System.out.println("score:" + stu.getScore() + ":age" + stu.getAge()); } }输出结果:score:89:age22score:98:age27score:98:age29score:99:age29score:100:age23从上面的例子我们可以看出Students类没有实现Comparable<T>接口,只是在sort()方法中多传入一个参数,只不过该参数是一个接口我们需要实现其compare方法。
