I'm implementing a TreeMap in java today to track the navigation for next page.
I have 5 entries in the treemap, 3 of them works while 2 don't work.
NavigationHelper.java :
public class NavigationHelper {
private static String hhSection = HXConstants.CSR_SECTION_FAMILY_DETAILS;
private static String[] hhPages = {
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_MEMBERS,
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_RELATIONSHIP,
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_ADDITIONAL_QUESTIONS,
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_SUMMARY_NEW,
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_PRIVACY_AGREEMENT
};
private static String hhPath = "household";
public static HashMap<String, NavLocation> getHHNavMap()
{
HashMap<String, NavLocation> hhNavMap = new HashMap<String, NavLocation>();
for (int i=0;i<hhPages.length;i++ ) {
hhNavMap.put(hhPath+"/"+hhPages[i], new NavLocation(hhSection,hhPages[i]));
}
return hhNavMap;
}
public static Map<NavLocation,String> getHHBackNavMap() {
TreeMap<NavLocation,String> hhBackNavMap = new TreeMap<NavLocation, String>();
HashMap<String, NavLocation> hhNavMap = getHHNavMap();
for(Entry<String, NavLocation> entry : hhNavMap.entrySet()) {
hhBackNavMap.put(entry.getValue(), entry.getKey());
}
return hhBackNavMap;
}
public static class NavLocation implements Comparable<NavLocation>{
private String section;
public NavLocation(String s, String p) {
this.section = s;
this.page = p;
}
public String getSection() {
return section;
}
public String getPage() {
return page;
}
private String page;
#Override
public int compareTo(NavLocation navObj) {
if(navObj.getPage().equals(this.page) && (navObj.getSection().equals(this.section)))
return 0;
return 1;
}
}
}
AppAggNavigationHelper.java :
public class AppAggNavigationHelper extends RestServiceBaseTest {
private static String hhSection = HXConstants.CSR_SECTION_FAMILY_DETAILS;
private static String[] hhPages = {
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_MEMBERS,
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_RELATIONSHIP,
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_ADDITIONAL_QUESTIONS,
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_SUMMARY_NEW,
HXConstants.CSR_PAGE_ID_HOUSEHOLD_PRIVACY_AGREEMENT
};
NavigationHelper navigationHelper = new NavigationHelper();
List<NavLocation> navList = new ArrayList<NavLocation>();
#Before
public void populateNavLocations() {
for(int i = 0 ; i < hhPages.length ; i++) {
navList.add(new NavLocation(hhSection, hhPages[i]));
}
}
#Test
public void test() {
testWithoutRest();
}
public void testWithoutRest() {
TreeMap<NavLocation,String> map = (TreeMap<NavLocation, String>) navigationHelper.getHHBackNavMap();
for(Map.Entry<NavLocation, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
NavLocation nav = entry.getKey();
System.out.println(nav.getPage() + " " + nav.getSection());
System.out.println(entry.getValue());
}
p("*****");
for(NavLocation navLocation : navList) {
System.out.println(navLocation.getPage() + " " + navLocation.getSection() + " " + map.get(navLocation));
}
}
}
Then the output is wired, for member, summary, privacy it's working.
But for relation and questions it's not.
:
member familydetails household/member
relation familydetails null
question familydetails null
summary familydetails household/summary
privacy familydetails household/privacy
Why relation and question are not working?
Your compareTo method is broken. If two NavLocation objects, a and b differ in their page or section, both a.compareTo(b) and b.compareTo(a) will return 1, thus violating the general contract of the method, which may lead to unexpected results.
Instead, the classic way to implement such a method depending on the objects properties would probably look something like this:
#Override
public int compareTo(NavLocation other) {
int result = getPage().compareTo(other.getPage());
if (result != 0) {
return result;
}
return getSection().compareTo(other.getSection());
}
This is my VO
public class SomeVO {
private String name;
private String usageCount;
private String numberofReturns;
private String trendNumber;
private String nonTrendNumber;
private String trendType;
private String auditType;
public SomeVO(String name,String usageCount,String numberofReturns,String trendNumber,String nonTrendNumber,String trendType,String auditType){
this.name = name;
this.usageCount = usageCount;
this.numberofReturns = numberofReturns;
this.trendNumber = trendNumber;
this.nonTrendNumber = nonTrendNumber;
this.trendType = trendType;
this.auditType = auditType;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getUsageCount() {
return usageCount;
}
public void setUsageCount(String usageCount) {
this.usageCount = usageCount;
}
public String getNumberofReturns() {
return numberofReturns;
}
public void setNumberofReturns(String numberofReturns) {
this.numberofReturns = numberofReturns;
}
public String getTrendNumber() {
return trendNumber;
}
public void setTrendNumber(String trendNumber) {
this.trendNumber = trendNumber;
}
public String getNonTrendNumber() {
return nonTrendNumber;
}
public void setNonTrendNumber(String nonTrendNumber) {
this.nonTrendNumber = nonTrendNumber;
}
public String getTrendType() {
return trendType;
}
public void setTrendType(String trendType) {
this.trendType = trendType;
}
public String getAuditType() {
return auditType;
}
public void setAuditType(String auditType) {
this.auditType = auditType;
}
}
Here is my values
List<SomeVO> myList = new ArrayList<SomeVO>();
SomeVO some = new SomeVO("A","0","0","123","123","Trend","AuditX");
myList.add(some);
some = new SomeVO("B","1","1","234","234","Non trend","AuditX");
myList.add(some);
some = new SomeVO("C","0","2","345","345","Trend","AuditX");
myList.add(some);
some = new SomeVO("D","2","3","546","546","Trend","AuditX");
myList.add(some);
some = new SomeVO("E","2","4","678","678","Non trend","AuditX");
myList.add(some);
some = new SomeVO("F","0","0","123","123","Non trend","AuditA");
myList.add(some);
some = new SomeVO("G","0","0","123","123","Trend","AuditB");
myList.add(some);
Here is my comparator
public String currentAudit = "AuditX";
public class AuditComparator implements Comparator<SomeVO> {
#Override
public int compare(SomeVO o1, SomeVO o2) {
if(currentAudit.equalsIgnoreCase(o1.getAuditType()) && currentAudit.equalsIgnoreCase(o2.getAuditType())) {
int value1 = o2.getUsageCount().compareTo(o1.getUsageCount());
if (value1 == 0) {
int value2 = o1.getNumberofReturns().compareTo(o2.getNumberofReturns());
if(o1.getTrendType().equalsIgnoreCase("Trend") && o2.getTrendType().equalsIgnoreCase("Trend")) {
if (value2 == 0) {
return o1.getTrendNumber().compareTo(o2.getTrendNumber());
} else {
return value2;
}
} else {
if (value2 == 0) {
return o1.getNonTrendNumber().compareTo(o2.getNonTrendNumber());
} else {
return value2;
}
}
}
return value1;
} else {
return 1;
}
}
}
I am trying to sort the VO based on below conditions
First only set of values of currentAudit should be taken in to
consideration i.e., AuditX
a) then it should be sorted with
Usage count in descending order
b) if same usage count found then it
should be sorted with Return count in ascending order
c) if same
return count then it should check for trendType, if trendType
="Trend" then it should sort with Trend number otherwise nonTrend number.
then it should consider rest all auditType's and sorted with
a),b),c) condition as like currentAudit. I tried achieving it and i
ended up with only above comparator. Expected result: D, A, C, E,
F, G. But i get G,F,D,E,B,A,C. Please help me to update the
comparator above.
Your comparator does not meet a simple condition: it is not stateless. A following should always be true: A>B => B<A. In your case, in some scenarios A>B and B>A.
I resolved it by splitting the actual list in to 2 list based on AuditX and rest in another list. Then used below comparator one by one, and then merged in to a result list. Works good.
for(SomeVO some:myList) {
if(some.getAuditType().equalsIgnoreCase("AuditX")) {
auditX.add(some);
} else {
auditY.add(some);
}
}
Collections.sort(auditX, new AuditComparator());
Collections.sort(auditY, new AuditComparator());
public class AuditComparator implements Comparator<SomeVO> {
#Override
public int compare(SomeVO o1, SomeVO o2) {
int value1 = o2.getUsageCount().compareTo(o1.getUsageCount());
if (value1 == 0) {
int value2 = o1.getNumberofReturns().compareTo(o2.getNumberofReturns());
if (value2 == 0) {
return (o1.getTrendType().equalsIgnoreCase("Trend") && o2.getTrendType().equalsIgnoreCase("Trend")) ?
o1.getTrendNumber().compareTo(o2.getTrendNumber()):o1.getNonTrendNumber().compareTo(o2.getNonTrendNumber());
} else {
return value2;
}
}
return value1;
}
The return 1 at the bottom of the comparator makes a bug.
The comparator shall only return 1 if the second element is bigger than the first one, but if they're different, you always return 1, so the very first sorting criteria will be messy.
// a helper for case insensitive comparison
private int compareIgnoreCase(String o1,String o2) {
return o1.toLowercase.compareTo(o2.toLowercase());
}
#Override
public int compare(SomeVO o1, SomeVO o2) {
int result=compareIgnoreCase(o1.getAuditType(),o2.getAuditType());
if (result==0) {
// we need to go to the 2nd criteria
result=o2.getUsageCount().compareTo(o1.getUsageCount());
}
if (result==0) {
// ok, 1st and 2nd criteria was the same, go to the 3rd
result=o1.getNumberofReturns().compareTo(o2.getNumberofReturns());
}
if (result==0) {
// check trends
...
}
return result;
}
I found that this representation of multiple comparison criteria makes the code much easier to follow. We first do the highest priority of comparison, and go on with further comparions if the previous comparisons returned that the two elements are the same (i.e. result is still zero).
In case you need to make a descending sorting at some level, simply put a -, e.g.:
result=-o1.something.compareTo(o2.something)
It is a good idea to have only one exit point in a method (this also makes easier to follow what is happening).
I have a distributed map and I want to find the lowest or highest key (an object implementing compareable). What is the most efficient way to get those keys? I mean something like every node provides his lowest key and in the end the lowest key is the lowest of every node.
So I think:
MyObj max = Collections.max(map.keySet());
is not the most efficient way. And if I want to use
new DistributedTask<>(new Max(input), key);
I would need to now the key and therefore fetch all Keys over wire. I think in that case I could do Collections.max(map.keySet()); as well.
Hmm ... any ideas?
You could use EntryProcessor.executeOnEntries - with a stateful EntryProcessor - and then let the it do all the work for you; have each key map to a sentinel MIN and MAX enum if they are the min and max.
If you have some idea of the bounds, you could attach a filter Predicate as well to speed it up that way, too.
This map reduce solution seems to have a lot of overhead but it is the best way I could get the job done. Any better ideas are still welcome.
public static void main(String[] args) throws ExecutionException, InterruptedException {
IMap<String, Integer> map = instance.getMap("test");
JobTracker jobTracker = instance.getJobTracker( "default" );
KeyValueSource<String, Integer> source = KeyValueSource.fromMap( map );
Job<String, Integer> job = jobTracker.newJob(source);
JobCompletableFuture<Map<String, String>> future = job
.mapper(new MaxMapper())
.reducer(new MaxReducerFactory())
.submit();
System.out.println("mr max: " + future.get());
}
public static class MaxMapper implements Mapper<String, Integer, String, String> {
private volatile String max = null;
#Override
public void map(String s, Integer integer, Context<String, String> ctx) {
if (max == null || s.compareTo(max)>0) {
max = s;
ctx.emit("max", max);
}
}
}
public static class MaxReducerFactory implements ReducerFactory<String,String,String> {
#Override
public Reducer<String, String> newReducer(String s) {
return new MaxReducer();
}
private class MaxReducer extends Reducer<String, String> {
private volatile String max = null;
#Override
public void reduce(String s) {

}
#Override

}
}
}
Mapper:
import com.hazelcast.mapreduce.Context;
import com.hazelcast.mapreduce.Mapper;
import stock.Stock;
public class MinMaxMapper implements Mapper<String, Stock, String, Double> {
static final String MIN = "min";
static final String MAX = "max";
#Override
public void map(String key, Stock value, Context<String, Double> context) {
context.emit(MIN, value.getPrice());
context.emit(MAX, value.getPrice());
}
}
Combiner:
import com.hazelcast.mapreduce.Combiner;
import com.hazelcast.mapreduce.CombinerFactory;
public class MinMaxCombinerFactory implements CombinerFactory<String, Double, Double> {
#Override
public Combiner<Double, Double> newCombiner(String key) {
return new MinMaxCombiner(MinMaxMapper.MAX.equals(key) ? true : false);
}
private static class MinMaxCombiner extends Combiner<Double, Double> {
private final boolean maxCombiner;
private double value;
private MinMaxCombiner(boolean maxCombiner) {
this.maxCombiner = maxCombiner;
this.value = maxCombiner ? -Double.MAX_VALUE : Double.MAX_VALUE;
}
#Override
public void combine(Double value) {
if (maxCombiner) {
this.value = Math.max(value, this.value);
} else {
this.value = Math.min(value, this.value);
}
}
#Override
public Double finalizeChunk() {
return value;
}
#Override
public void reset() {
this.value = maxCombiner ? -Double.MAX_VALUE : Double.MAX_VALUE;
}
}
}
Reducer:
import com.hazelcast.mapreduce.Reducer;
import com.hazelcast.mapreduce.ReducerFactory;
public class MinMaxReducerFactory implements ReducerFactory<String, Double, Double> {
#Override
public Reducer<Double, Double> newReducer(String key) {
return new MinMaxReducer(MinMaxMapper.MAX.equals(key) ? true : false);
}
private static class MinMaxReducer extends Reducer<Double, Double> {
private final boolean maxReducer;
private volatile double value;
private MinMaxReducer(boolean maxReducer) {
this.maxReducer = maxReducer;
this.value = maxReducer ? -Double.MAX_VALUE : Double.MAX_VALUE;
}
#Override
public void reduce(Double value) {
if (maxReducer) {
this.value = Math.max(value, this.value);
} else {
this.value = Math.min(value, this.value);
}
}
#Override
public Double finalizeReduce() {
return value;
}
}
}
Returns two elements map with min and max:
ICompletableFuture<Map<String, Double>> future =
job.mapper(new MinMaxMapper())
.combiner(new MinMaxCombinerFactory())
.reducer(new MinMaxReducerFactory())
.submit();
Map<String, Double> result = future.get();
Why don't you create an ordered index? Although I'm not quite sure if it currently is possible to find a maximum value using a predicate and once found, abort the evaluation of the predicate.
I learned how to use the comparable but I'm having difficulty with the Comparator. I am having a error in my code:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: New.People cannot be cast to java.lang.Comparable
at java.util.Arrays.mergeSort(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Arrays.sort(Unknown Source)

at New.TestPeople.main(TestPeople.java:18)
Here is my code:
import java.util.Comparator;
public class People implements Comparator {
private int id;
private String info;
private double price;
public People(int newid, String newinfo, double newprice) {
setid(newid);
setinfo(newinfo);
setprice(newprice);
}
public int getid() {
return id;
}
public void setid(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getinfo() {
return info;
}
public void setinfo(String info) {
this.info = info;
}
public double getprice() {
return price;
}
public void setprice(double price) {

}
public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) {

} else if (p1 < p2){
return -1;
} else {

}
}
}
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
public class TestPeople {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList peps = new ArrayList();
peps.add(new People(123, "M", 14.25));
peps.add(new People(234, "M", 6.21));
peps.add(new People(362, "F", 9.23));
peps.add(new People(111, "M", 65.99));
peps.add(new People(535, "F", 9.23));
Collections.sort(peps);
for (int i = 0; i < peps.size(); i++){
System.out.println(peps.get(i));
}
}
}
I believe it has to do something with the casting in the compare method but I was playing around with it and still could not find the solution
There are a couple of awkward things with your example class:
it's called People while it has a price and info (more something for objects, not people);
when naming a class as a plural of something, it suggests it is an abstraction of more than one thing.
Anyway, here's a demo of how to use a Comparator<T>:
public class ComparatorDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Person> people = Arrays.asList(
new Person("Joe", 24),
new Person("Pete", 18),
new Person("Chris", 21)
);
Collections.sort(people, new LexicographicComparator());
System.out.println(people);
Collections.sort(people, new AgeComparator());
System.out.println(people);
}
}
class LexicographicComparator implements Comparator<Person> {
#Override
public int compare(Person a, Person b) {
return a.name.compareToIgnoreCase(b.name);
}
}
class AgeComparator implements Comparator<Person> {
#Override
public int compare(Person a, Person b) {
return a.age < b.age ? -1 : a.age == b.age ? 0 : 1;
}
}
class Person {
String name;
int age;
Person(String n, int a) {
name = n;
age = a;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return String.format("{name=%s, age=%d}", name, age);
}
}
EDIT
And an equivalent Java 8 demo would look like this:
public class ComparatorDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Person> people = Arrays.asList(
new Person("Joe", 24),
new Person("Pete", 18),
new Person("Chris", 21)
);
Collections.sort(people, (a, b) -> a.name.compareToIgnoreCase(b.name));
System.out.println(people);
Collections.sort(people, (a, b) -> a.age < b.age ? -1 : a.age == b.age ? 0 : 1);
System.out.println(people);
}
}
Here's a super short template to do the sorting right away :
Collections.sort(people, new Comparator<Person>() {
#Override
public int compare(final Person lhs, Person rhs) {
// TODO return 1 if rhs should be before lhs
// return -1 if lhs should be before rhs
// return 0 otherwise (meaning the order stays the same)
}
});
If it's hard to remember, try to just remember that it's similar (in terms of the sign of the number) to:
lhs-rhs
That's in case you want to sort in ascending order : from smallest number to largest number.
Use People implements Comparable<People> instead; this defines the natural ordering for People.
A Comparator<People> can also be defined in addition, but People implements Comparator<People> is not the right way of doing things.
The two overloads for Collections.sort are different:
<T extends Comparable<? super T>> void sort(List<T> list)
Sorts Comparable objects using their natural ordering
<T> void sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c)
Sorts whatever using a compatible Comparator
You're confusing the two by trying to sort a Comparator (which is again why it doesn't make sense that Person implements Comparator<Person>). Again, to use Collections.sort, you need one of these to be true:
The type must be Comparable (use the 1-arg sort)
A Comparator for the type must be provided (use the 2-args sort)

Also, do not use raw types in new code. Raw types are unsafe, and it's provided only for compatibility.
That is, instead of this:
ArrayList peps = new ArrayList(); // BAD!!! No generic safety!
you should've used the typesafe generic declaration like this:
List<People> peps = new ArrayList<People>(); // GOOD!!!
You will then find that your code doesn't even compile!! That would be a good thing, because there IS something wrong with the code (Person does not implements Comparable<Person>), but because you used raw type, the compiler didn't check for this, and instead you get a ClassCastException at run-time!!!
This should convince you to always use typesafe generic types in new code. Always.

For the sake of completeness, here's a simple one-liner compare method:
Collections.sort(people, new Comparator<Person>() {
#Override
public int compare(Person lhs, Person rhs) {
return Integer.signum(lhs.getId() - rhs.getId());
}
});
Java 8 added a new way of making Comparators that reduces the amount of code you have to write, Comparator.comparing. Also check out Comparator.reversed
Here's a sample
import org.junit.Test;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;
public class ComparatorTest {
#Test
public void test() {
List<Person> peopleList = new ArrayList<>();
peopleList.add(new Person("A", 1000));
peopleList.add(new Person("B", 1));
peopleList.add(new Person("C", 50));
peopleList.add(new Person("Z", 500));
//sort by name, ascending
peopleList.sort(Comparator.comparing(Person::getName));
assertTrue(peopleList.get(0).getName().equals("A"));
assertTrue(peopleList.get(peopleList.size() - 1).getName().equals("Z"));
//sort by name, descending
peopleList.sort(Comparator.comparing(Person::getName).reversed());
assertTrue(peopleList.get(0).getName().equals("Z"));
assertTrue(peopleList.get(peopleList.size() - 1).getName().equals("A"));
//sort by age, ascending
peopleList.sort(Comparator.comparing(Person::getAge));
assertTrue(peopleList.get(0).getAge() == 1);
assertTrue(peopleList.get(peopleList.size() - 1).getAge() == 1000);
//sort by age, descending
peopleList.sort(Comparator.comparing(Person::getAge).reversed());
assertTrue(peopleList.get(0).getAge() == 1000);
assertTrue(peopleList.get(peopleList.size() - 1).getAge() == 1);
}
class Person {
String name;
int age;
Person(String n, int a) {
name = n;
age = a;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
}
}
For the sake of completeness.
Using Java8
people.sort(Comparator.comparingInt(People::getId));
if you want in descending order
people.sort(Comparator.comparingInt(People::getId).reversed());
You want to implement Comparable, not Comparator. You need to implement the compareTo method. You're close though. Comparator is a "3rd party" comparison routine. Comparable is that this object can be compared with another.
public int compareTo(Object obj1) {
People that = (People)obj1;
Integer p1 = this.getId();
Integer p2 = that.getid();
if (p1 > p2 ){
return 1;
}
else if (p1 < p2){
return -1;
}
else
return 0;
}
Note, you may want to check for nulls in here for getId..just in case.
Two corrections:
You have to make an ArrayList of People objects:
ArrayList<People> preps = new ArrayList<People>();
After adding the objects to the preps, use:
Collections.sort(preps, new CompareId());
Also, add a CompareId class as:
class CompareId implements Comparator {
public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) {
People t1 = (People)obj1;
People t2 = (People)obj2;
if (t1.marks > t2.marks)
return 1;
else
return -1;
}
}
Here's an example of a Comparator that will work for any zero arg method that returns a Comparable. Does something like this exist in a jdk or library?
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.util.Comparator;
public class NamedMethodComparator implements Comparator<Object> {
//
// instance variables
//
private String methodName;
private boolean isAsc;
//
// constructor
//
public NamedMethodComparator(String methodName, boolean isAsc) {
this.methodName = methodName;
this.isAsc = isAsc;
}
/**
* Method to compare two objects using the method named in the constructor.
*/
#Override
public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) {
Comparable comp1 = getValue(obj1, methodName);
Comparable comp2 = getValue(obj2, methodName);
if (isAsc) {
return comp1.compareTo(comp2);
} else {
return comp2.compareTo(comp1);
}
}
//
// implementation
//
private Comparable getValue(Object obj, String methodName) {
Method method = getMethod(obj, methodName);
Comparable comp = getValue(obj, method);
return comp;
}
private Method getMethod(Object obj, String methodName) {
try {
Class[] signature = {};
Method method = obj.getClass().getMethod(methodName, signature);
return method;
} catch (Exception exp) {
throw new RuntimeException(exp);
}
}
private Comparable getValue(Object obj, Method method) {
Object[] args = {};
try {
Object rtn = method.invoke(obj, args);
Comparable comp = (Comparable) rtn;
return comp;
} catch (Exception exp) {
throw new RuntimeException(exp);
}
}
}
public static Comparator<JobSet> JobEndTimeComparator = new Comparator<JobSet>() {
public int compare(JobSet j1, JobSet j2) {
int cost1 = j1.cost;
int cost2 = j2.cost;
return cost1-cost2;
}
};
The solution can be optimized in following way:
Firstly, use a private inner class as the scope for the fields is to be the enclosing class TestPeople so as the implementation of class People won't get exposed to outer world. This can be understood in terms of creating an APIthat expects a sorted list of people
Secondly, using the Lamba expression(java 8) which reduces the code, hence development effort
Hence code would be as below:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
public class TestPeople {

Here is a lambda version of comparator. This will sort a string list according to length.
Collections.sort(str, (str1, str2) -> {
if(str1.length() < str2.length())
return 1;
else if(str2.length() < str1.length())
return -1;
else
return 0;
});
You should use the overloaded sort(peps, new People()) method

If you are using Java 8 then it's better to use below code like this:
Comparator<People> comparator = Comparator.comparing(People::getName);
And then simply use:
Collections.sort(list, comparator);
If you are using Java 7 or below then you can use a comparator for customized sorting order by implementing compare method.
For example:
import java.util.Comparator;
public class PeopleNameComparator implements Comparator<People> {
#Override
public int compare(People people1, People people2) {
return people1.getName().compareTo(people2.getName());
}
}
And then simply use like this:
Collections.sort(list, new PeopleNameComparator);
Do not waste time implementing Sorting Algorithm by your own. Instead use Collections.sort() to sort data.
