What is the difference between the Comparable and Comparator interfacés? Why would you use the Comparator instead of the Comparable interface? Include in your answer an explanation of the methods that must be overridden in the class that implements Comparable and the Comparator interfaces, as well as the return values as stated in the contract.

In Java, give an example of a class that implements the Comparable interface, and explain how the implementation of the compareTo method determines its return value.
Imagine you have two classes: Employee (which represents being an employee) and Ninja (which represents being a Ninja). An Employee has both state and behaviour; a Ninja has only behaviour. You need to represent an employee who is also a ninja (a common problem in the real world). By creating only one interface and only one class (NinjaEmployee), show how you can do this without having to copy method implementation code from either of the original classes.
C Sharp, I am trying to get my console to display the vehicle information, by using a base class of Vehicle and derived classes Car, and Truck. I have to add an interface to add and remove cars. But for now, I am just trying to get the vehicle information to display from the Car class. For some reason I am not able to override my methods in the derived classes. What am I am doing wrong ? using CarRentalCompany; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace CarRentalCompany {//Define an abstract class Vehicle with properties like Make, Model, Year, Status, and Notes public abstract class Vehicle { public string make; public string model; public int year; public string status; public string notes; //Method to Display vechile information public void DisplayVehicleInfomration() { } } public class Car : Vehicle, IRentable {…
Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution. USING JAVA: ---Sorting the Invoices via dates--- Another error that will still be showing is that there is not Comparable/compareTo() method setup on the Invoice class file. That is something you need to fix and code. Implement the use of the Comparable interface and add the compareTo() method to the Invoice class. The compareTo() method will take a little work here. We are going to compare via the date of the invoice. The dates of the Invoice class are by default saved in a MM-DD-YYYY format. So they have a dash '-' between each part of the date. So you will need to split the date of the current invoice AND split the date of the object sent to the method. We have three things to compare against here. First we need to check the year. If the years are the same then you should go another step forward and compare the months. If the months are the same then you will lastly have to compare the day. Use whatever…

What is the best first step to include in your implementation of equals(Object o) anytime you override it? Group of answer choices 1. Check if all instance variables of the invoking object and the input object are all equal. 2. Cast the passed in object as the class of the object invoking equals. 3.Check for identity (using ==). 4.Check if the invoking object (this) and the passed in object both implement the same interface, using instanceof. 5. No answer text provided.
