Java 8 for Experienced Developers: Lambdas, Stream API & Beyond

If you've been working with Java for some time, then you've probably encountered a scenario where you need to sort the elements in a collection.


If your collection contains a wrapper class object then the sorting is very easy. Since all the wrapper classes implement the `Comparable` interface, you can directly use `Collections.sort()` to sort your collection.

However, if your collection contains a custom class object then you need to provide the logic to sort your object. In this lesson, we will look at an example in which we will sort a list of `Person` class objects using a comparator. Then, we will write a program to do the same task using lambdas.

Learn how to use the power of lambdas to write a concise comparator.
