This is the first module in a sub-collection on the Comparable interface. The purpose of the modules in the sub-collection is to teach you about the interactions between the Comparable interface and the Collections Framework, particularly with respect to the Set, SortedSet, and SortedMap interfaces of the Collections Framework. This module explains the (lack of) interaction between the Comparable interface and the Java Collections Framework with respect to collections of type List.

Preface

This module is one of a series of modules designed to teach you about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in general and the Java Collections Framework in particular.

This is also the first module in a sub-collection on the Comparable interface. The purpose of the modules in this sub-collection is to teach you about the interactions between the Comparable interface and the Collections Framework, particularly with respect to the Set , SortedSet , and SortedMap interfaces of the Collections Framework.

This module also explains the (lack of) interaction between the Comparable interface and the Java Collections Framework with respect to collections of type List .

In addition to studying these modules, I strongly recommend that you study the Collections Trail in Oracle's Java Tutorials . The modules in this collection are intended to supplement and not to replace those tutorials.

In this module, I will begin discussing the interaction between the Comparable interface and the Collections Framework.

Generics

The code in this module is written with no thought given to Generics . As a result, if you copy and compile this code, you will probably get a warning about unchecked or unsafe operations .
