Java 8 Comparator comparing() and thenComparing() Example - Tutorial

Hello Java programmers, you may know that the JDK 8 has added a lot of new methods into the Comparator interface which makes comparing and sorting objects in Java really easy. Two such methods are called comparing() and thenComparing() which was added in the java.util.Comparator interface. These methods accept a key extractor function and return a Comparator that can compare to that key. The key must be Comparable though like String, Integer, or any Java class which implements java.lang.Comparable interface, I mean the key must implement Comparable interface.
