I get it. So if one has an answer to give, but thinks the OP should do SOME of the work themselves, there's no point in posting the answer? We don't expect people to think and learn and deduce any more? What kind of programmers will they turn out to be, then? >> -- >> Lew >> Don't quote sigs, in particular not this one. > > Use sigdashes, which comprise two dashes followed by a space. > The internet eats my spaces when I post from a browser. When I post from Thunderbird it works fine. Even without sigdashes, it's possible not to quote the sig. You didn't use sigdashes, and yet somehow by some weird miracle of my using my brain your sig was not quoted. I guess the message of your message is that people shouldn't have to think. -- Lew

Loose Cannon is very, very hoppy to the point of tasting like a citrus beverage. That took some getting used to, but by the second glass it was a favorite. I'm sipping one now. They have other specialty brews if you're less enamored of hops. I prefer Clipper City to Sam Adams, Yuengling and nearly all the local microbrews I've tasted. They don't use excess malt as a substitute for flavor or brewing craft. YMMV. -- Lew

You used them, and they worked, but they are ignored by the browser-based reader I was using at that time, and part of your sig was above them.

No doubt, but why would I let that spoil my rhetoric? Mind you, I have no objection to providing code to help the OP. I do have a real objection to one ignoring advice that lacks every last freaking detail of the code and prevents the querent from having to do any work whatsoever. The OP pretended that your answer came out of nowhere, and that no one else had suggested the same thing, as if the lack of code made the other answer(s) any less valuable. If they really didn't see the value of being told, "Custom Comparator. Load the entries into a SortedSet with that Comparator." then they should have *asked* about it. Then when you gave the code for that (I assume that's what they were really answering, not the post to which they actually replied) they pretended like you were the first to even suggest such a thing in answer to their question. laredotornado, you are not going to make real progress in computer programming until you grasp how to take a topic suggestion into code. There are wise people out there, for example Roedy Green, who will give you a signpost to the restaurant instead of a sandwich. Feed a man a meal and you feed him for an hour; send him to the diner and you feed him for a lifetime. In this very thread Roedy gave you good advice, and you threw it away dismissively by saying only, > I do use a TreeMap -- > "final Map<String, String> map = new > TreeMap<String, String>();", > but the order is not getting preserved when I call "map.entrySet". And you didn't even provide an SSCCE! What is wrong with you? -- Lew |
