+- # Natural Ordering
+	- When deciding on whether one object is greater than or less than another, we refer to the **natural ordering** of the object's class.
+	- Natural ordering is the ordering imposed on an object when its class implements the **Comparable** interface.
+		- ```java
+		  public interface Comparable<T>
+		  ```
+		- This interface imposes a total ordering on the objects of each class that implements it.
+		- The class's `compareTo()` method is referred to as its **natural comparison method**.
+		- Lists (and arrays) that implement this interface can be sorted automatically by `Collections.sort`.
+		- Objects that implement this interface can be used as keys in a sorted map or as elements in a sorted set, without the need to specify a comparator.
+		- The `<T>` in `Comparable<T>` means that we can specify in advance the types of the object that should be compared.
+		- It returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer depending on whether the object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.
+- # `assert`
+	- Use `assert` to declare that a statement **must be true**.
+		- If it is not true, your program will throw an `AssertionError` Exception.
+		- You can use the `assert` statement as a quick way to test for expected output.
+		- ```java
+		  assert(2==2);
+		  ```
