Method Detail

toSortedString

public static java.lang.String toSortedString(java.util.Collection collection,
                                              boolean recursive)

Given a collection, return a string representation of the collection. The representation returned is obtained by concatenating the string representations of the individual elements in their sorted order, as determined by the compareTo method of java.lang.String. If the recursive argument is true, then elements of the collection that are themselves collections are recursively converted to sorted strings using this method. When printing test results, this method can be used to guarantee a consistent representation for a collection regardless of the order in which elements are inserted and removed.

Parameters:

collection - The collection.

recursive - True if elements of the collection that are themselves collections should be recursively converted to sorted strings.

Returns:

The string representation.
