The Java collections framework has several different, specialized collections, such as sets and maps. These allow you to store values and data in different ways. In this course, you'll explore these and other valuable collections from the Java collections framework. Create and work with sets, performing several different operations, including union, intersection, difference, and subset operations. Next, explore the different set implementations that Java offers beyond the basic HashSet. Discover how the LinkedHashSet and TreeSet differ in how elements of the set are accessed. Finally, work with another important and commonly used Java collection, the map. Investigate several different map implementations and use maps to build a Least Recently Used cache and a priority queue. When you're finished, you'll have a solid foundational, working knowledge in using special collections in the Java collections framework.

    In this video, you'll learn how to identify how the Comparator and Comparable interfaces are used in tree sets. You'll discover that if you want to be able to add custom Objects to TreeSets, your Objects should implement the Comparable interface or you need to specify a Comparator for the TreeSet. FREE ACCESS
