Java Comparator Applications

Java Comparator is one of the favourite questions in Java Interviews.

This concept looks deceptively simple, and slight variations of this could be asked in the interviews.


1) Write an AlphaNumeric Comparator in Java that sorts the given strings in the human readable
    format.

 e.g., file1, file2, file 3, file4, file 10

Not like the typical comparator file1, file10




2) Chained Comparator which can be used to join Multiple Comparators


3) Given a List of Employee Objects group the Objects such that all the employees are grouped by
    Department and by Name.


4) Use Java 8 Style Comparators

HashMap in Java

1) Implement HashMap in Java, with the put and get operations   HashMap can be implemented in Java Using Arrays. Use the same logic that the Out of the Box   HashMap follows, for resizing, and load factor, when ever the HashMap reaches the size of the   resize with the load factor a new Array is created, and the previous array contents are copied over   to the new Array.  HashMap is Not Synchronized by default. We can synchronize the whole map by using Synchronization, or by using collection.synchronizedmap(map), which synchronizes all the operations on the map. Alternatively We can use the CocurrentHashMap which does not lock the read operations, rather locks the segments that are being written. 2) HashMap vs LinkedHashMap vs IdentityHashMap 3) HashMap vs ConcurrentHashMap 4) Implement a Cache using LinkedHashMap
