compare : Java Glossary

compare
To be able to sort Objects in order, you must be able to compare them. There are two interfaces: java.lang.Comparable and java.util.Comparator. You need to implement one or both of them to use the various ordered collections and sorts. java.lang.Comparable is used to define the natural sort order of a class. java.util.Comparator is used to define a special sort order for a class.

If you disagree with something I said, especially when sending an ad-hominem attack, a rant composed mainly of obscenities or a death threat, please quote the offending passage and cite the web page where you found it, tell me why you think it is wrong, and, if possible, provide some supporting evidence. I can’t very well fix erroneous or ambiguous text if I can’t find it.
