Java Example - Collection Comparison
The following example converts strings to a set and uses the Collection class's Collection.min() and Collection.max() methods to compare elements in the collection:
Main.java File
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.TreeSet;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] coins = {"Penny", "nickel", "dime", "Quarter", "dollar"};
Set<String> set = new TreeSet<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < coins.length; i++) {
set.add(coins);
}
System.out.println(Collections.min(set));
System.out.println(Collections.min(set, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER));
for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
System.out.print("-");
}
System.out.println("");
System.out.println(Collections.max(set));
System.out.println(Collections.max(set, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER));
}
}
The output of the above code is:
Penny
dime
-----------
nickel
Quarter
dime
-----------
nickel
Quarter
