Uses of Comparator in java.util

Methods in java.util that return Comparator

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Comparator<? super E>	TreeSet.comparator()
Comparator<? super K>	TreeMap.comparator()
Comparator<? super E>	SortedSet.comparator() Returns the comparator used to order the elements in this set, or null if this set uses the natural ordering of its elements.
Comparator<? super K>	SortedMap.comparator() Returns the comparator used to order the keys in this map, or null if this map uses the natural ordering of its keys.
Comparator<? super E>	PriorityQueue.comparator() Returns the comparator used to order the elements in this queue, or null if this queue is sorted according to the natural ordering of its elements.
static <T> Comparator<T>	Collections.reverseOrder() Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse of the natural ordering on a collection of objects that implement the Comparable interface.
static <T> Comparator<T>	Collections.reverseOrder(Comparator<T> cmp) Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse ordering of the specified comparator.

Methods in java.util with parameters of type Comparator

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static <T> int	Collections.binarySearch(List<? extends T> list, T key, Comparator<? super T> c) Searches the specified list for the specified object using the binary search algorithm.
static <T> int	Arrays.binarySearch(T[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, T key, Comparator<? super T> c) Searches a range of the specified array for the specified object using the binary search algorithm.
static <T> int	Arrays.binarySearch(T[] a, T key, Comparator<? super T> c) Searches the specified array for the specified object using the binary search algorithm.
static <T> int	Objects.compare(T a, T b, Comparator<? super T> c) Returns 0 if the arguments are identical and c.compare(a, b) otherwise.
static <T> T	Collections.max(Collection<? extends T> coll, Comparator<? super T> comp) Returns the maximum element of the given collection, according to the order induced by the specified comparator.
static <T> T	Collections.min(Collection<? extends T> coll, Comparator<? super T> comp) Returns the minimum element of the given collection, according to the order induced by the specified comparator.
static <T> Comparator<T>	Collections.reverseOrder(Comparator<T> cmp) Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse ordering of the specified comparator.
static <T> void	Collections.sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c) Sorts the specified list according to the order induced by the specified comparator.
static <T> void	Arrays.sort(T[] a, Comparator<? super T> c) Sorts the specified array of objects according to the order induced by the specified comparator.
static <T> void	Arrays.sort(T[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, Comparator<? super T> c) Sorts the specified range of the specified array of objects according to the order induced by the specified comparator.
