Question
Answer for the following question based on the JAVA code provided.
Why does maximum use compareTo instead of ==? (Hint: why can’t you use == with object reference variables?
![Create the following Java class to demonstrate Generics.
public class MaximumTest {
// determines the largest of three Comparable objects
}
public static <T extends Comparable<T>> T maximum(T x, Ty, T z) {
T max = x; // assume x is initially the largest
}
if(y.compareTo(max) > 0) {
max = y; // y is the largest so far
}
}
if(z.compareTo(max) > 0) {
max = z; // z is the largest now
}
return max; // returns the largest object
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.printf("Max of %d, %d and %d is %d\n\n",
3, 4, 5, maximum( 3, 4, 5));
System.out.printf("Max of %.1f,%.1f and %.1f is %.1f\n\n",
6.6, 8.8, 7.7, maximum( 6.6, 8.8, 7.7 ));
System.out.printf("Max of %s, %s and %s is %s\n", "pear",
"apple", "orange", maximum ("pear", "apple", "orange"));

Thank you. Using quicksort to sort an array of car objects by various criteria. Define a class Car as follows: class Car { public String make; public String model; public int mpg; // Miles per gallon } b) Implement a comparator called CompareCarsByDescendingMPG that can be passed as an argument to the quicksort method from the lecture notes. CompareCarsByDescendingMPG should return a value that will cause quicksort to sort an array of cars in descending order (from largest to smallest) by mpg.arrow_forward
