将 <Object, Object> 放入 TreeMap 时出错

Error when putting <Object, Object> into TreeMap

我有以下两个 类,它们定义了我想放入 TreeMap 中的对象:

class GeneKey {

    String PN;
    int PW;

    // Generator makes unique TreeMap key.
    GeneKey(String a, int b){
        this.PN = a;
        this.PW = b;
    }
}   

然后是第二个对象:

class GeneValue {

    String info;
    String date;

    // Generator makes TreeMap value
    GeneValue(String a, String b){
        this.info = a;
        this.date = b;
    }
}   

然后我想制作一个 TreeMap:

import java.util.TreeMap;

// In main ...
TreeMap<GeneKey, GeneValue> samples = new TreeMap<GeneKey, GeneValue>();  

String a = "test";
int b = 100;

String c = "test again";
String d = "test yet again";

// Try to put these objects into the tree map.
samples.put(new GeneKey(a, b) ,new GeneValue(c,d))

但我收到以下错误:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: GeneKey cannot be cast to java.lang.Comparable

我想知道为什么我无法建立 key:value 或 GeneKey:GeneValue 的 TreeMap,即使我在初始化 TreeMap 时指定了这些对象。如何初始化地图以便 .put() 这两个对象。

谢谢

TreeMap 是一个有序容器:当您请求它的键或条目时,您会按特定顺序获取它们。

顺序取决于您提供的密钥。为了让容器对键进行排序,每个键都需要实现 Comparable 接口:

class GeneKey implements Comparable<GeneKey> {

    String PN;
    int PW;

    // Generator makes unique TreeMap key.
    GeneKey(String a, int b){
        this.PN = a;
        this.PW = b;
    }
    public int compareTo(GenKey other) {
        int res = PN.compareTo(other.PN);
        return (res != 0) ? res : Integer.compare(PW, other.PW);
    }
}

这不是基于散列的容器的要求,因为一切都继承自 Object,它提供 hashCodeequals
