Program: How to sort keys in TreeMap by using Comparator?


Description:

Below example shows how to use Comparator with TreeMap. Comarator is required to implement your own sorting logic. You have to provide the sorting logic inside compare methods. Comparator is very much useful if you are working with user defined objects.


Code:
package com.java2novice.treemap;

import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.TreeMap;

public class MyTreeMapComparator {
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		//the treemap sorts by key
		TreeMap<String, String> hm = new TreeMap<String, String>(new MyComp());
		//add key-value pair to TreeMap
		hm.put("java", "language");
		hm.put("computer", "machine");
		hm.put("india","country");
		hm.put("mango","fruit");
		System.out.println(hm);
	}
}

class MyComp implements Comparator<String>{

	@Override
	public int compare(String str1, String str2) {
		return str1.compareTo(str2);
	}
	
}

Output:
{computer=machine, india=country, java=language, mango=fruit}

Stream and types of Streams
A Stream is an abstraction that either produces or consumes information. There are two types of Streams and they are:

Byte Streams: Provide a convenient means for handling input and output of bytes. Byte Streams classes are defined by using two abstract classes, namely InputStream and OutputStream.

Character Streams: Provide a convenient means for handling input & output of characters. Character Streams classes are defined by using two abstract classes, namely Reader and Writer.
Famous Quotations
The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.
