True.
False. Such an object can contain duplicate values but cannot contain duplicate keys .
False. A SortedMap is a Map that maintains its entries in ascending order, sorted according to the keys' natural ordering, or according to a Comparator provided at the time of the SortedMap creation.
True, in the opinion of this author.
True.
False. The natural ordering of a collection of objects of a given class is determined by the code written into the concrete compareTo method when the compareTo method inherited from the Comparable interface is defined. Objects instantiated from a class that doesn't implement the Comparable interface don't have a natural ordering.
False. The natural ordering of the elements in a collection is the ordering imposed by the objects' own compareTo method.
True.
True.
The program output is the three lines of text shown below (without the bullets) .
True.
False? While it is true that the reverse method of the Collections class reverses the order of the elements in a specified list, the method has a void return type.
False. The reverseOrder method of the Collections class returns a reference to an object of the interface type Comparator .
