When I start to sort a collection, I can use Class - Comparable or Comparator. My question is what is difference between Comparable and Comparator?

We can use Class - Comparable and Comparator to sort a collection. Below article is about Sorting a collection. http://www.javaol.net/2011/02/sorting-java-collections/ It can help you to understand the difference between Comparable and Comparator deeply.
