Sorting is a crucial aspect in developing any application, especially with custom objects in Java.
The Comparable interface is implemented by a class to provide its natural ordering. It defines the compareTo() method to compare objects.
The Comparator interface is used to provide custom sorting logic. It defines the compare() method to compare two objects.
In the given example, to sort a list of Student objects by names or marks, we can implement Comparable in the Student class for natural ordering or use a separate class implementing Comparator for custom sorting.
