Get the max and min value from a Collection

static<T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>>T max(Collection<? extends T> coll): Returns the maximum element of the given collection, according to the natural ordering of its elements.
static<T> T max(Collection<? extends T> coll, Comparator<? super T> comp): Returns the maximum element of the given collection, according to the order induced by the specified comparator.
static<T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>>T min(Collection<? extends T> coll): Returns the minimum element of the given collection, according to the natural ordering of its elements.
static<T> T min(Collection<? extends T> coll, Comparator<? super T> comp): Returns the minimum element of the given collection, according to the order induced by the specified comparator.


  import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.LinkedList;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    LinkedList<Integer> list = new LinkedList<Integer>();
    list.add(-8);
    list.add(20);
    list.add(-20);
    list.add(8);

    Comparator<Integer> r = Collections.reverseOrder();

    Collections.sort(list, r);

    System.out.print("List sorted in reverse: ");
    System.out.print(list);

    System.out.println();

    Collections.shuffle(list);

    System.out.print("List shuffled: ");

    System.out.print(list);

    System.out.println();

    System.out.println("Minimum: " + Collections.min(list));
    System.out.println("Maximum: " + Collections.max(list));
  }
}

The output:


List sorted in reverse: [20, 8, -8, -20]
List shuffled: [-20, 20, -8, 8]
Minimum: -20
Maximum: 20
