Write Efficient Bug-free and Simple Comparators in Java - JEP Café #17

Inside Java

Comparator are elements used daily in all Java applications. There are fairly easy to write, but must also follow several subtle rules. This JEP Café explains all of them: how to leverage the factory...

Natural comparable vs explicit comparator sorting

Essential Java

There are two Collections.sort() methods: One that takes a List<T as a parameter where T must implement Comparable and override the compareTo() method that determines sort order. One that takes a List...

Java Comparable interface

Level Up Coding

The Java language frequently operates on objects, and often, these objects need to be ordered in some way, such as by date. To order objects, we must compare them and determine which ones are greater...
