Returns the maximum element of the given collection, according to the
order induced by the specified comparator. All elements in the
collection must be mutually comparable by the specified
comparator (that is, comp.compare(e1, e2)
must not throw a
ClassCastException
for any elements e1
and
e2
in the collection).
This method iterates over the entire collection, hence it requires time proportional to the size of the collection.
<T> | the class of the objects in the collection | |
coll | the collection whose maximum element is to be determined. | |
comp | the comparator with which to determine the maximum element.
A null value indicates that the elements' natural
ordering should be used. |
ClassCastException | if the collection contains elements that are not mutually comparable using the specified comparator. | |
NoSuchElementException | if the collection is empty. |
