實現了Comparable接口的類需要實現compareTo()方法，傳入壹個外部參數進行比對，實現了Comparator接口的方法需要實現compare()方法，對外部傳入的兩個類進行比較，從而讓外部方法在比較時調用。
兩者的區別是實現Comparator接口代碼更加靈活，可以定義某個類的多個比較器，從而在排序時根據實際場景自由調用，而Comparable接口實現後便不能改動。兩種接口的調用方式如下：
class AESComparator implements Comparator<Apple>{
public int compare(Apple o1, Apple o2) {
if (Math.abs(o1.price-o2.price)<0.001)
return 0;
else{
return (o1.price-o2.price)>0?1:-1;
}
}
}
class DESComparator implements Comparator<Apple>{
public int compare(Apple o1, Apple o2) {
if (Math.abs(o1.price-o2.price)<0.001)
return 0;
else {
return (o1.price-o2.price)>0?-1:1;
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Apple apple1 = new Apple(1,4.8);
Apple apple2 = new Apple(2,5.9);
Apple apple3 = new Apple(3,8.5);
List<Apple> list = new ArrayList<Apple>();
list.add(apple1);
list.add(apple3);
list.add(apple2);
System.out.println("Comparable==========");
System.out.printf("this list of apples: %s\n",list);
Collections.sort(list);
System.out.printf("this list of apples: %s\n",list);
System.out.println("Comparator==========");
System.out.printf("this list of apples: %s\n",list);
Collections.sort(list,new DESComparator());
System.out.printf("this list of apples: %s\n",list);
Collections.sort(list,new AESComparator());
System.out.printf("this list of apples: %s\n",list);
}
}
上述代碼存在的問題，不能在比較器中進行double類型的減法操作，因為對於值比較大的double，減法操作容易導致值的溢出，java7對每壹種包裝類型的比較新增了compare()方法，改造後的代碼如下：
class Apple implements Comparable<Apple>{
int id;
double price;
public Apple(int id, double price) {
this.id = id;
this.price = price;
}
public int compareTo(Apple o) {
return Double.compare(this.price,o.price);
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Apple{" +
"id=" + id +
", price=" + price +
'}';
}
}
class AESComparator implements Comparator<Apple>{
public int compare(Apple o1, Apple o2) {
return Double.compare(o1.price,o2.price);
}
}
class DESComparator implements Comparator<Apple>{
public int compare(Apple o1, Apple o2) {
return Double.compare(o2.price,o1.price);
}
}
查看Double.compare的源碼如下
public static int compare(double d1, double d2) {
if (d1 < d2)
return -1; // Neither val is NaN, thisVal is smaller
if (d1 > d2)
return 1; // Neither val is NaN, thisVal is larger
// Cannot use doubleToRawLongBits because of possibility of NaNs.
long thisBits = Double.doubleToLongBits(d1);
long anotherBits = Double.doubleToLongBits(d2);
return (thisBits == anotherBits ? 0 : // Values are equal
(thisBits < anotherBits ? -1 : // (-0.0, 0.0) or (!NaN, NaN)
1)); // (0.0, -0.0) or (NaN, !NaN)
}
