explain the Flow of the Program ?

how the items compared by the compare(Object a, Object b) method

while added to the TreeSet ?

please give me some idea...


class MyComp implements Comparator
{


    public int compare(Object a, Object b)
    {
        int i,j,k;System.out.println(" hai from Comparator");

        String sa=(String )a;
        String sb=(String )b;;

        i=sa.lastIndexOf(' ');
        j=sb.lastIndexOf(' ');

        k=sa.substring(i).compareTo(sb.substring(j));

        if(k==0)

            return sa.compareTo(sb);
        else
            return k;

    }
}


public class Array {




    public static void main(String[] args) {
                TreeSet a =new TreeSet(new MyComp());


a.add("Apple juice"); System.out.println(" hai from main for Apple " );

a.add("Grapes juice"); System.out.println(" hai from main for Grapes" );

a.add("Mango juice");System.out.println(" hai from main for Mango " );

a.add("Lemon juice");System.out.println(" hai from main for Lemon" );




            System.out.println("\n \n LAst \n \n ");
            Iterator i=a.iterator();

            while(i.hasNext())
            {

                System.out.println(i.next());



            }

            System.out.println("\n \n LAst \n \n ");

            System.out.println(" hai from main for Banana");
            a.add("Banana juice");
            System.out.println(" hai from main for caret");
            a.add("Caret juice");




            Iterator i1=a.iterator();
            while(i1.hasNext())
            {

                System.out.println(i1.next());



            }




    }

}

Is this your homework?

Here's your clues:
- Start at public static void main(String[] args) {

- Comparator looks like an interface, which MyComp implements.

- TreeSet seems to let you specify a class to be used for comparisons between Objects when you're instantiating it, that's what MyComp is.

I think you can figure it out from there

Have a look on this code. It may useful to u. :-

ar.add(new Emp(1, "raj", "29-Aug-2005 11:15:07 AM"));

ar.add(new Emp(4, "amar", "13-Mar-2005 10:29:18 AM"));

ar.add(new Emp(11, "ramesh", ""));

ar.add(new Emp(2, "gopi", null));

           System.out.println("\nBefore Sorting :");
