Problem sorting with TreeMap

Question

I am trying to put some key values ​​in a HashMap and then trying to figure out a TreeMap, as shown below. The problem is that if the map had the same values, then after sorting it considers any of them.

   import java.util.*;

public class HashmapExample {

            public static void main(String[] args) {

            HashMap<String,Integer> map = new HashMap<String,Integer>();
            ValueComparator bvc =  new ValueComparator(map);
            TreeMap<String,Integer> sorted_map = new TreeMap(bvc);

            map.put("A",99);
            map.put("B",67);
            map.put("C",123);
            map.put("G",67);
            map.put("F",67);
            map.put("H",67);
            map.put("D",6);

            System.out.println("unsorted map");
            for (String key : map.keySet()) {
                System.out.println("key/value: " + key + "/"+map.get(key));
            }

            sorted_map.putAll(map);

            System.out.println("results after sorting");
            for (String key : sorted_map.keySet()) {
                System.out.println("key/value: " + key + "/"+sorted_map.get(key));
            }
        }

    }

    class ValueComparator implements Comparator {

      Map base;
      public ValueComparator(Map base) {
          this.base = base;
      }

      public int compare(Object a,Object b) {

        if((Integer)base.get(a) > (Integer)base.get(b)) {
          return 1;
        } else if((Integer)base.get(a) == (Integer)base.get(b)) {
          return 0;
        } else {
          return -1;
        }
      }
    }

After that, the output looks like below

unsorted map
key/value: D/6
key/value: A/99
key/value: F/67
key/value: H/67
key/value: C/123
key/value: B/67
key/value: G/67
results after sorting
key/value: D/6
key/value: F/67
key/value: A/99
key/value: C/123

For keys B, G, F and H, I gave the value as 67. After sorting the map, only the value F and the value B, G and H are displayed. I want to display the outputs as shown below

    key/value: D/6
    key/value: B/67
    key/value: G/67
    key/value: F/67
    key/value: H/67
    key/value: A/99
    key/value: C/123

Answer 1

The reason keys B, G, and H are removed because the comparator you are comparing is compared only based on the values. Since they all have the same meaning, they are all equal, which means they will be overwritten by others.

, , , , , .

int compare(Comparable key1, Comparable key2) {
   // I'm guessing you are doing something like:
   // return map.get(key1).compareTo(map.get(key2));

    // you can change it to something like
    int result = key1.compareTo(key2);
    if ( result == 0 ) {
      result= key1.compareTo(key2) 
    }

    return result;

}

Answer 2

TreeSet smt

class ValueComparator implements Comparator<String> {
    private final Map<String, Integer> base;

    public ValueComparator(Map<String, Integer> base) {
        this.base = base;
    }

    public int compare(String a, String b) {
        int compareInts = base.get(a).compareTo(base.get(b));
        if (compareInts == 0) {
            return a.compareTo(b);
        } else {
            return compareInts;
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

TreeSet , compareTo() == 0.

, , .

key/value: D/6
key/value: B/67
key/value: F/67
key/value: G/67
key/value: H/67
key/value: A/99
key/value: C/123

  public int compare(Object a,Object b) {

    if((Integer)base.get(a) > (Integer)base.get(b)) {
      return 1;
    } else if((Integer)base.get(a) == (Integer)base.get(b)) {
      return ((String)a).compareTo((String)b);
    } else {
      return -1;
    }

Answer 6

, :

public class MapValueComparator<K extends Comparable<K>, V extends Comparable<V>> implements Comparator<K> {
    private final Map<K, V> base;
    private final boolean ascending;

    public MapValueComparator(Map<K, V> base) {
        this.base = base;
        this.ascending = true;
    }

    public MapValueComparator(Map<K, V> base, boolean ascending) {
        this.base = base;
        this.ascending = ascending;
    }

    @Override
    public int compare(K a, K b) {
        int r = base.get(a).compareTo(base.get(b));
        if (r == 0)
            r = a.compareTo(b);

        if (ascending)
            return r;
        else
            return -r;
    }
}

:

Map<String,Integer> map = new HashMap<String,Integer>();
// add some contents to map ...

MapValueComparator<String, Integer> mvc = new MapValueComparator<String, Integer>(map);
TreeMap<String, Integer> sorted_map = new TreeMap<String, Integer>(mvc);
sorted_map.putAll(map);
