简单类型的排序

简单类型不外是byte, char, short, int, long, float, double等数据类型, 这些类型不能放在集中,只能使用数组。 java.util.Arrays方法提供了对这些类型的sort方法(实际上还有很多其他有用的方法),下面是对一个简单的int数组排序:

int[] arr = {2, 3, 1,10,7,4}; 
 System.out.print("before sort: "); 
 for (int i = 0; i< arr.length; i++) 
 System.out.print(arr[i] + " "); 
 System.out.println(); 
 Arrays.sort(arr); 
 System.out.print("after sort: "); 
 for (int i = 0; i< arr.length; i++) 
 System.out.print(arr[i] + " "); 
 System.out.println(); 
输出结果: 
before sort: 2 3 1 10 7 4 
after sort: 1 2 3 4 7 10



我们看到排序结果是按照升序排列的,下面的排序都是如此。



对象的排序

对象可以放在数组里,同样调用Arrays.sort(Object[] arr)即可;也可以放到集里,用java.util.Collections的
sort(List list)。
但是这个类必须实现了java.lang.Comparable接口。这个接口只有一个方法:int compartTo(Object o),
当本对象比传入的对象大时,返回一个正整数。 以类Programmer为例:

class Programmer implements Comparable{ 
 private String name; 
 private String language; 
 private double pay; 
 public Programmer(String name, String language, double pay) { 
 this.name = name; 
 this.language = language; 
 this.pay = pay; 
 } 
 public int compareTo(Object o) { 
 Programmer other = (Programmer)o; 
 return (int)pay - (int)other.pay; 
 } 
 public String toString(){ 
 return "{name: " + name + ", language: " + language + ", money: " + pay + "}"; 
 }
 }

对其进行排序:

ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); 
 list.add(new Programmer("张三", "C", 12000)); 
 list.add(new Programmer("李四", "Java", 200)); 
 list.add(new Programmer("王五", "C++", 5000)); 
 list.add(new Programmer("钱六", "VB", 3000)); 
 System.out.println("before sort: " + list); 
 Collections.sort(list); 
 System.out.println("after sort: " + list);

输出:  

before sort: [{name: 张三, language: C, money: 12000.0}, {name: 李四, language: Java, money: 200.0},  
 {name: 王五, language: C++, money: 5000.0}, {name: 钱六, language: VB, money: 3000.0}]  
after sort: [{name: 李四, language: Java, money: 200.0}, {name: 钱六, language: VB, money: 3000.0},  
{name: 王五, language: C++, money: 5000.0}, {name: 张三, language: C, money: 12000.0}]

够简单吧!查查Comparable的javadoc可以知道,有很多类已经实现了该接口,因此对这些类的排序几行代码就可以搞定。  

最近看C#发现其中用System.Array.sort对数组排序,适用于所有实现了IComparable接口的对象,看来微软的借鉴能力还真是强啊!  

对已有类进行排序  

上面的方法有一个问题,就是一个类已经存在了,并且没有实现Comparable接口,使用一个子类进行封装?  

很麻烦(你可以对下面的例子试试)。还有一种情况就是对一个类没法实现多种排序。以File类为例,它实现了Comparable接口,  

但是是按照名称排序的。如果要按照大小排序,或者按修改时间排序呢?对这两种情况,使用java.util包的Comparator接口:  

Arrays.sort(Object[] arr, Comparator com)  

Collections.sort(Object[] arr, Comparator com)  

Comparator接口的方法:  

public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) 当o1比o2大时返回一个正整数  

public boolean equals(Object obj) 判断obj与这个Comparator是否同一个对象  

下面使用Comparator对文件实现了按文件大小或修改时间排序:

class FileUtils { 
 static class CompratorByLastModified implements Comparator { 
 public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) { 
 File file1 = (File)o1; 
 File file2 = (File)o2; 
 long diff = file1.lastModified() - file2.lastModified(); 
 if (diff > 0) 
 return 1; 
 else if (diff == 0) 
 return 0; 
 else 
 return -1; 
 } 
 public boolean equals(Object obj){ 
 return true; //简单做法 
 } 
 } 
 static class CompratorBySize implements Comparator { 
 public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) { 
 File file1 = (File)o1; 
 File file2 = (File)o2; 
 long diff = file1.length() - file2.length(); 
 if (diff > 0) 
 return 1; 
 else if (diff == 0) 
 return 0; 
 else 
 return -1; 
 } 
 public boolean equals(Object obj){ 
 return true; //简单做法 
 } 
 } 
}

调用的示例:

File dir = new File("C:\\temp"); 
 File[] files = dir.listFiles(); 
 System.out.print("before sort: "); 
 for (int i = 0; i< files.length; i++) 
 System.out.print(files[i] + " "); 
 System.out.println(); 
 Arrays.sort(files); 
 System.out.print("sort by name: "); 
 for (int i = 0; i< files.length; i++) 
 System.out.print(files[i] + " "); 
 System.out.println(); 
 Arrays.sort(files, new FileUtils.CompratorBySize()); 
 System.out.print("sort by size: "); 
 for (int i = 0; i< files.length; i++) 
 System.out.print(files[i] + " "); 
 System.out.println(); 
 Arrays.sort(files, new FileUtils.CompratorByLastModified()); 
 System.out.print("sort by last modified: "); 
 for (int i = 0; i< files.length; i++) 
 System.out.print(files[i] + " "); 
 System.out.println();

自己找个目录试一下吧。用这些Java类库中的方法,一般情况下应该是不用自己写排序算法了吧?  

最后附上完整代码占点版面:

 System.out.print(arr[i] + " "); 
 System.out.println(); 
 Arrays.sort(arr); 
 System.out.print("after sort: "); 
 for (int i = 0; i< arr.length; i++) 
 System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
