Question
writing a general-purpose sort method in Java, the sort method needs to compare
objects. There are two ways to give the sort method the code to compare objects,
implementing the interfaces Comparable and Comparator respectively. Briefly, describe the
two ways. Write excerpts of use examples

Step 1: Introduction to object:
Object:
In programming, an "object" typically refers to a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP), where it represents a specific instance of a class. In OOP, classes are used to define templates or blueprints for objects. Objects are created from these classes and represent individual entities with their own set of attributes (data) and methods (functions) that can operate on that data.

- The "dynamic array" data structure is used as the basis of Java's ArrayList library class. Describe this data structure and explain how it achieves (amortized) constant-time adding of elements, while also giving constant-time random access of elements. As part of your answer, make sure to explain what "amortized" means for the data structure.arrow_forwardWrite a java class named First_Last_Recursive_Merge_Sort that implements the recursive algorithm for Merge Sort.

A maze is a two dimensional array of chars. Walls are represented as '#'s and ' ' are empty squares. The maze entrance is always in the first row, second column (and will always be an empty square). There will be zero or more exits along the outside perimeter. To be considered an exit, it must be reachable from the entrance. The entrance is not an exit.Here are some example mazes:mazeA7 9# # ###### # # ## # # #### # ## ##### ## ########## RequirementsWrite a MazeSolver class in Java. This program needs to prompt the user for a maze filename and then explore the maze. Display how many exits were found and the positions (not indices) of the valid exits.

- Nonscalar types, such as arrays, records (structures), and variant records (unions) also contain information. The rules for information flow classes for these data types are built on the scalar types. Consider the array a: array 1 .. 100 of int; First, look at information flows out of an element a[i] of the array. In this case, information flows from a[i] and from i, the latter by virtue of the index indicating which element of the array to use. Information flows into a[i] affect only the value in a[i], and so do not affect the information in i. Thus, for information flows from a[i], the class involved is lub{ a[i], i }; for information flows into a[i], the class involved is a[i]. Above is the infromation flow security mechanism for arrays similarly write one for structures/Records. Below is the small info on Structures. The structure consists of several fields, each of which acts like a variable. Say you have a structure with two integer fields, x and y. You want to assign the value…arrow_forwardWrite a java class named RecursiveMergeSort that implements the recursive algorithm for Merge Sort.You can use the structure below for your implementation.arrow_forwardPlease complete the task by yourself only in JAVA with explanation. Don't copy. 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
- In java Define and create a 2-dimensional array of integers with 4 rows and 8 columns. Print the elements of the array in table format (rows and columns). Replace the element in the second row and third column of the array with the value 99.arrow_forwardYou will create two programs. The first one will use the data structure Stack and the other program will use the data structure Queue. Keep in mind that you should already know from your video and free textbook that Java uses a LinkedList integration for Queue. Stack Program Create a deck of cards using an array (Array size 15). Each card is an object. So you will have to create a Card class that has a value (1 - 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace) and suit (clubs, diamonds, heart, spade). You will create a stack and randomly pick a card from the deck to put be pushed onto the stack. You will repeat this 5 times. Then you will take cards off the top of the stack (pop) and reveal the values of the cards in the output. As a challenge, you may have the user guess the value and suit of the card at the bottom of the stack. Queue Program There is a new concert coming to town. This concert is popular and has a long line. The line uses the data structure Queue. The people in the line are objects…arrow_forward
