为什么实施Comparable
界面而不仅仅是定义我自己的compareTo()
方法是有益的?
另一件事,java.util.Arrays.sort(Object[] o)
方法如何与Comparable
接口相关,以便我必须实现Comparable接口才能使用Arrays.sort(Object[] o)
方法?

为什么实现Comparable接口而不是 只是定义我自己的compareTo方法?
您可以定义自己的方法,但需要比较的所有类必须知道它。为此目的,Java api中存在可比性,所有人都清楚这一点。可比较的接口是许多类的超类型,无论其来源如何。因此,它通常用于所有主要框架。
另一件事,java.util.Arrays.sort(Object [] o)方法如何 与Comparable接口有关,因此我必须实现 可比较的接口能够使用Arrays.sort(Object [] o) 方法
Arrays.sort()
方法在内部调用compareTo()
类的Comparable
方法对内容进行排序。
检查Arrays.sort()
的源代码,委派方法使用Comparabble#compareTo()
方法
private static void mergeSort(Object[] src,
Object[] dest,
int low,
int high,
int off) {
int length = high - low;
// Insertion sort on smallest arrays
if (length < INSERTIONSORT_THRESHOLD) {
for (int i=low; i<high; i++)
for (int j=i; j>low &&
((Comparable) dest[j-1]).compareTo(dest[j])>0; j--)
swap(dest, j, j-1);
return;
}
// Recursively sort halves of dest into src
int destLow = low;
int destHigh = high;
low += off;
high += off;
int mid = (low + high) >>> 1;
mergeSort(dest, src, low, mid, -off);
mergeSort(dest, src, mid, high, -off);
// If list is already sorted, just copy from src to dest. This is an
// optimization that results in faster sorts for nearly ordered lists.
if (((Comparable)src[mid-1]).compareTo(src[mid]) <= 0) {
System.arraycopy(src, low, dest, destLow, length);
return;
}
// Merge sorted halves (now in src) into dest
for(int i = destLow, p = low, q = mid; i < destHigh; i++) {
if (q >= high || p < mid && ((Comparable)src[p]).compareTo(src[q])<=0)
dest[i] = src[p++];
else
dest[i] = src[q++];
}
}

Comparable Interface允许您对列表和对象数组进行排序。如果要通过Collections.sort()方法对类的实例进行排序,则需要实现此接口。例如,您可以使用sort()方法轻松地对String实例进行排序,因为String Implements Comparable Interface和Interface有一个方法compareTo(),每次我们对String实例进行排序时都会调用它。类似地,您可以通过实现Comparable并覆盖其方法CompareTo()来以自己的方式使用它来对类的实例进行排序。

// below is the example to override the CompareTo() method
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class DVDInfo implements Comparable<DVDInfo>{
String title;
String genre;
String LeadActor;
List<DVDInfo> dvdList=new ArrayList<DVDInfo>();
public DVDInfo(String t, String g,String a) {
title=t;
genre=g;
LeadActor=a;
}
public String toString()
{
return("Title: "+ title +" Genere: " +genre + " LeadActor: " +LeadActor );
}
public String getTitle()
{
return title;
}
public String getGenre()
{
return genre;
}
public String getLeadActor()
{
return LeadActor;
}
public void addList(DVDInfo d)
