I am not getting the desired output from the following code
I want to get the Strings to be sorted by last name and here I have overloaded comparator but its not comparing last names
kindly help me . moreover while execution it throws java.lang.nullpointerexception.The code is
import java.util.*;
class TComp implements Comparator{
public int compare(Object a, Object b){
int i, j, k;
String aStr, bStr;
aStr = (String) a;
bStr = (String)b;
i = aStr.lastIndexOf(' ');
j = bStr.lastIndexOf(' ');
k=aStr.substring(i).compareTo(bStr.substring(j));
if(k==0)
return aStr.compareTo(bStr);
else
return k;
}
}
public class TreeMapDemo2{
public static void main(String args[]){
TreeMap tm = new TreeMap();
tm.put("Sunil Bmar", new Double(3000));
tm.put("Dinesh Amar", new Double(100000));
tm.put("Ravi Chandwani",new Double(2000));
tm.put("Amit Kumar",new Double(30000));
tm.put("Bhushan Vasvani",new Double(5000));
tm.put("Kishan Ratnani",new Double(4000));
Set set = tm.entrySet();
Iterator i = set.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()){
Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)i.next();
System.out.print(me.getKey()+ ": " );
System.out.println(me.getValue());
}
System.out.println();
double balance = ((Double)tm.get("Sunil kumar")).doubleValue();
tm.put("Sunil kumar",new Double(balance + 1000));
System.out.println("Sunil kumar's new balance : "+tm.get("Sunil kumar"));
}
}
