PriorityQueue Sorted By String Length

Source:

import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.PriorityQueue;

public class MyPriorityQueue {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Comparator<String> com = new MyComparator();
      PriorityQueue<String> q = new PriorityQueue<String>(10, com);
      q.add("a");
      q.add("zz zz zz zz zz");
      q.add("cc cc cc");
      q.add("The cat in the hat");
      q.add("dddd");
      while (q.size() != 0) {
         System.out.println(q.remove());
      }
   }
}

// sort by string length of string
class MyComparator implements Comparator<String> {
   public int compare(String x, String y) {
      if (x.length() < y.length()) {
         return -1;
      }
      if (x.length() > y.length()) {
         return 1;
      }
      return 0;
   }
}

Output:

   $ java MyPriorityQueue 
   a
   dddd
   cc cc cc
   zz zz zz zz zz
   The cat in the hat
