Java Collection, TreeMap Exercises: Sort keys in Tree Map by using comparator

Java Collection, TreeMap Exercises: Exercise-7 with Solution

Write a Java program to sort keys in Tree Map by using comparator.

Sample Solution:-

Java Code:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.Map.Entry;  
public class Example7 {  
    public static void main(String args[]){  
  TreeMap<String,String> tree_map1 = new TreeMap<String,String>(new sort_key());
   // Put elements to the map 
  tree_map1.put("C2", "Red");
  tree_map1.put("C4", "Green");
  tree_map1.put("C3", "Black");
  tree_map1.put("C1", "White"); 
  System.out.println(tree_map1); 
    }
}
 class sort_key implements Comparator<String>{
     @Override
    public int compare(String str1, String str2) {
        return str1.compareTo(str2);
    }
     
}

Sample Output:

{C1=White, C2=Red, C3=Black, C4=Green}

Java: Tips of the Day

Try and catch:

Java is excellent at catching errors, but it can only recover gracefully if you tell it what to do. The cascading hierarchy of attempting to perform an action in Java starts with try, falls back to catch, and ends with finally. Should the try clause fail, then catch is invoked, and in the end, there's always finally to perform some sensible action regardless of the results. Here's an example:

try {
        cmd = parser.parse(opt, args); 
       
        if(cmd.hasOption("help")) {
                HelpFormatter helper = new HelpFormatter();
                helper.printHelp("Hello ", opt);
                System.exit(0);
                }
        else {
                if(cmd.hasOption("shell") || cmd.hasOption("s")) {
                String target = cmd.getOptionValue("tgt");
                } // else
        } // fi
} catch (ParseException err) {
        System.out.println(err);
        System.exit(1);
        } //catch
        finally {
                new Hello().helloWorld(opt);
        } //finally
} //try

It's a robust system that attempts to avoid irrecoverable errors or, at least, to provide you with the option to give useful feedback to the user. Use it often, and your users will thank you!
