How do you sort collection of StringBuffer object in java?
Problem statement: Given the collection of StringBuffer objects.
StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer("Z");
StringBuffer sb2 = new StringBuffer("A");
StringBuffer sb3 = new StringBuffer("P");
You have to sort it either way, meaning natural order or custom order.
Answer:
// ASCENDING ORDER:
StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer("Z");
StringBuffer sb2 = new StringBuffer("A");
StringBuffer sb3 = new StringBuffer("P");
You have to sort it either way, meaning natural order or custom order.
Answer:
// ASCENDING ORDER:
- import java.util.Comparator;
- import java.util.TreeSet;
- public class Test {
- public static void main(String[] args) {
- SortStringBufferObject s = new SortStringBufferObject();
- TreeSet<StringBuffer> t = new TreeSet<>(s);
- t.add(new StringBuffer("Z"));
- t.add(new StringBuffer("A"));
- t.add(new StringBuffer("P"));
- System.out.println(t);
- }
- }
- class SortStringBufferObject implements Comparator<StringBuffer> {
- public int compare(StringBuffer sb1, StringBuffer sb2) {
- return sb1.toString().compareTo(sb2.toString());
- }
- }
Output:
[A, P, Z]
// DESCENDING ORDER:
- import java.util.Comparator;
- import java.util.TreeSet;
- public class Test {
- public static void main(String[] args) {
- SortStringBufferObject s = new SortStringBufferObject();
- TreeSet<StringBuffer> t = new TreeSet<>(s);
- t.add(new StringBuffer("Z"));
- t.add(new StringBuffer("A"));
- t.add(new StringBuffer("P"));
- System.out.println(t);
- }
- }
- class SortStringBufferObject implements Comparator<StringBuffer> {

What is the benefits of generic in java?
Problem statement: List out the benefits of generic in java.
- type safety
- type erasure
- type safety: what exactly mean of type safety, Compiler guarantee that if correct types are used in correct places means within angular braces then there should not be any ClassCastException in runtime. A use case can be a list of Integer i.e. List<Integer>.If we declare a list in java like List<Integer>, then java guarantees that it will detect and report us any attempt to insert any non-integer type into above list.
- type erasure: what exactly mean of type erasure, It essentially means that all the extra information added using generics into sourcecode will be removed from bytecode generated from it. Inside bytecode, it will be old java syntax which you will get if you don’t use generics at all. This necessarily helps in generating and executing code written prior java 5 when generics were not added in language.
Let’s understand with an example.
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
list.add(1000); //works fine
list.add("lokesh"); //compile time error
When we write above code and compile it, we will get an error: “The method add(Integer) in the type List<Integer> is not applicable for the arguments (String)“. Compiler warned us. This is what exactly generics sole purpose i.e. Type Safety.
Second part is getting bytecode after removing second line from above example. If you compare the bytecode of above example with/without generics, then there will not be any difference. Clearly compiler removed all generics information. So, above code is very much similar to below code without generics.
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add(1000);
What is the correct and incorrect piece of code for generic representation in Java? [Onward Java 5]
Problem statement: We need to find out the correct pieces of java code.
- ArrayList<Integer> l = new ArrayList<>();
- ArrayList<Integer> l = new ArrayList<Integer>();
- ArrayList<int> l = new ArrayList<int>();
- ArrayList<int> l = new ArrayList<>();
- LinkedList<Integer> l = new LinkedList<Integer>();
- LinkedList<Integer> l = new LinkedList<>();
- LinkedList<int> l = new LinkedList<>();
- Map<String, Integer> m = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
- Map<String, Integer> m = new HashMap<>();
- Map<String, int> m = new HashMap<>();
Answer:
- Correct- we can keep right angular braces empty
- Correct- we can specify the right angular braces data type also
- Incorrect-generic support only wrapper class for auto boxing to Object type
- Incorrect-generic support only wrapper class for auto boxing to Object type
- Correct- we can specify the right angular braces data type also
- Correct- we can keep right angular braces empty
- Incorrect- generic doen't support primitive data type

Which of the following option will sort the keys in HashMap ?
Problem statement:
Given java code as follows, can you find out the correct option to sort the keys in HashMap?
- import java.util.HashMap;
- import java.util.Set;
- import java.util.TreeSet;
- public class Test {
- public static void main(String[] args) {
- HashMap<String, String> m = new HashMap<String, String>();
- m.put("key45", "aa");
- m.put("key12", "bb");
- m.put("key39", "cc");
- Set<String> s = m.keySet();
- // code goes here
- s = new TreeSet(s);
- }
- }
- Arrays.sort(s);
- s = new TreeSet(s);
- Collections.sort(s);
- s = new SortedSet(s);
Correct option:
s = new TreeSet(s);
Explanation:
Arrays.sort(s) // sorts for static array
Collection.sort(s) // sort the List type of object not Set type
s =new SortedSet(s); // SortedSet is an interface
Explanation:
Arrays.sort(s) // sorts for static array
Collection.sort(s) // sort the List type of object not Set type
s =new SortedSet(s); // SortedSet is an interface
