Java 教程的对象排序一文提供了一个示例,该示例编写了自己的比较器
,以便对自定义类型执行比较。
然后,要查找的密钥(或任何其他)可以传递到 Collections.binarySearch
方法中。ArrayList
List
Comparator
下面是一个示例:
import java.util.*;
class BinarySearchWithComparator
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Please scroll down to see 'User' class implementation.
List<User> l = new ArrayList<User>();
l.add(new User(10, "A"));
l.add(new User(20, "B"));
l.add(new User(30, "C"));
Comparator<User> c = new Comparator<User>() {
public int compare(User u1, User u2) {
return u1.getId().compareTo(u2.getId());
}
};
// Must pass in an object of type 'User' as the key.
// The key is an 'User' with the 'id' which is been searched for.
// The 'name' field is not used in the comparison for the binary search,
// so it can be a dummy value -- here it is omitted with a null.
//
// Also note that the List must be sorted before running binarySearch,
// in this case, the list is already sorted.
int index = Collections.binarySearch(l, new User(20, null), c);
System.out.println(index); // Output: 1
index = Collections.binarySearch(l, new User(10, null), c);
System.out.println(index); // Output: 0
index = Collections.binarySearch(l, new User(42, null), c);
System.out.println(index); // Output: -4
// See javadoc for meaning of return value.
}
}
class User {
private int id;
private String name;
public User(int id, String name) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}
public Integer getId() {
return Integer.valueOf(id);
}
}
