How to compare elements in a collection?
SolutionFollowing example compares the element of a collection by converting a string into a treeset using Collection.min() and Collection.max() methods of Collection class.
import java.util.Collections; import java.util.Set; import java.util.TreeSet; public class MainClass { public static void main(String[] args) { String[] coins = { "Penny", "nickel", "dime", "Quarter", "dollar" }; Set set = new TreeSet(); for (int i = 0; i < coins.length; i++)set.add(coins[i]); System.out.println(Collections.min(set)); System.out.println(Collections.min(set, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER)); for(int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)System.out.print('-'); System.out.println(Collections.max(set)); System.out.println(Collections.max(set, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER)); } }Result
The above code sample will produce the following result.
Penny dime ---------- nickle Quarter
