comparable comparator java code example

Example 1: comparable on a generic class java

public class DoubleKey<K extends Comparable<K>, J extends Comparable<J>>
        implements Comparable<DoubleKey<K, J>> {

    private K key1;
    private J key2;

    public DoubleKey(K key1, J key2) {
        this.key1 = key1;
        this.key2 = key2;
    }

    public K getFirstKey() {
        return this.key1;
    }

    public J getSecondKey() {
        return this.key2;
    }

    public int compareTo(DoubleKey<K, J> that) {

        int cmp = this.getFirstKey().compareTo(that.getFirstKey());
        if (cmp == 0)
            cmp = this.getSecondKey().compareTo(that.getSecondKey());
        return cmp;
    }
}

Example 2: comparable interfacee

class Student implements Comparable<Student>{  
int rollno;  
String name;  
int age;  
Student(int rollno,String name,int age){  
this.rollno=rollno;  
this.name=name;  
this.age=age;  
}  
  
public int compareTo(Student st){  
if(age==st.age)  
return 0;  
else if(age>st.age)  
return 1;  
else  
return -1;  
}  
}
