按日期比较对象(实现Comparator)

Question

我有一个java People对象:

public class People {

        String lastname;
        String firstname;
        String gender;
        String datebirth;
        String fcolor;

        public People(String lastname, String firstname, String gender,String datebirth, String fcolor) {
                this.lastname = lastname;
                this.firstname = firstname; 
                this.gender = gender;
                this.datebirth = datebirth;
                this.fcolor = fcolor;
        }
        public String getLastname() {
                return lastname;
        }
        public String getFirstname() {
                return firstname;
        }
        public String getGender() {
                return gender;
        }
        public String getFcolor() {
                return fcolor;
        }
        public String getDatebirth() {
                return datebirth;
        }        
}

我想创建一个Comparator来比较datebirth(datebirth有时采用这种格式"2/13/1943",有时采用这种格式"2-13-1943",你能帮我解决一下如何实现它.

我开始这个,但感到困惑:

import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.text.DateFormat;

public class CompareDateBirth implements Comparator<People>{

        public int compare(People p, People q) {

                 DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
                 Date Pdate = null;
                 Date Qdate= null;
                    try {
                    Pdate = df.parse(p.getDatebirth());
                    Qdate = df.parse(q.getDatebirth());
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    }    
                      return Pdate.compareTo(Qdate) > 0 ? 1 : 0;
        }
}

如果你用正确的类型存储出生日期 - 一个java.util.Date对象而不是一个String- 你就不会有这个问题.格式化是一个显示问题.

一个名为"人"的班级？

这是我如何做到的(以下所有类在名为model的包中的单独.java文件中):

package model;

public enum Gender { MALE, FEMALE }

public class Person {
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private Gender gender;
    private Date birthDate;  // I'd make sure to set hh:mm:ss all to midnight

    // constructors, getters, equals, hashCode, and toString are left for you
}

public class BirthDateComparator implements Comparator<Person> {
    public int compare(Person p, Person q) {
        if (p.getBirthDate().before(q.getBirthDate()) {
            return -1;
        } else if (p.getBirthDate().after(q.getBirthDate()) {
            return 1;
        } else {
            return 0;
        }        
    }
}
