This module is one in a collection of modules on Java Collections designed for teaching ITSE2321 - Object-Oriented Programming (Java) at Austin Community College in Austin, TX.
This module contains review questions and answers keyed to the module titled Java4080: The Comparable Interface, Part 2 .
Once you study that module, you should be able to answer the review questions in this module.
The questions and the answers in this module are connected by hyperlinks to make it easy for you to navigate from the question to the answer and back again.
True or False? The elements stored in a TreeSet collection must be references to objects instantiated from a class that implements the Comparable interface or makes use of an alternative approach involving the Comparator interface.
What output is produced by the program shown in Listing 1 ?
True or False? The program in Listing 1 throws a runtime error because the class named MyClass fails to implement the CompareTo interface.
What output is produced by the program shown in Listing 2 ?
True or False? A class that implements the Comparable interface must provide a concrete definition of the compareTo method.
What is the meaning of the following two images?
These images were inserted here simply to insert some space between the questions and the answers to keep them from being visible on the screen at thesame time.
This image was also inserted for the purpose of inserting space between the questions and the answers.
True.
1234
False. The program in Listing 1 throws a runtime error because the class named MyClass fails to implement the Comparable interface.
Runtime Error
True.

Financial : Although the Connexions site makes it possible for you to download aPDF file for this module at no charge, and also makes it possible for you to purchase a pre-printed version of the PDF file, youshould be aware that some of the HTML elements in this module may not translate well into PDF.
I also want you to know that, I receive no financial compensation from the Connexions website even if you purchase the PDF version ofthe module.
In the past, unknown individuals have copied my modules from cnx.org, converted them to Kindle books, and placed them for sale onAmazon.com showing me as the author. I neither receive compensation for those sales nor do I know who does receive compensation. If youpurchase such a book, please be aware that it is a copy of a module that is freely available on cnx.org and that it was made andpublished without my prior knowledge.
