How do I read multiple CSV files to sort data in Java?

So, my Java project has two CSV files that needs to read and print some sort the data from high to low.

First CSV file has date, location, new_cases, new_deaths, total_cases, total_deaths format.

Second CSV file has Country, location, continent, population_year, population format.

What I’m trying to do is to read both data, run a function to calculate continent data, and come up with continent(string), total_cases(int) and sort it according to high to low. then print the whole thing

Example output:

Continent (continent, csv2): —— Total Cases:(total_cases,csv1)

Oceania 123456

Australia 12345

Europe 123

The code I wrote so far included below, please help me with deriving and sorting the data.

import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.* ;
public class Main {

    static void loadData() {

        String pathFile1 = "./locations.csv";
        String pathFile2 = "./full_data.csv";
        String row;
        try {

            BufferedReader csvReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(pathFile1));

            while ((row = csvReader.readLine()) != null) {
              System.out.println(row);
            }
            csvReader.close();


            csvReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(pathFile2));

            while ((row = csvReader.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(row);

            }
            csvReader.close();


        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    }

                    System.out.println("Thank you for using our system..Goodbye!");

                default:

Answer

The continent at position 3 and total at position 5, read the first file and get the total cases and I guess every row in the first file related to the same row in the second file.

Then create a map with continent and number related to that continent and sort based on the total cases

 public static Map<String, Long> loadData() {
        String pathFile1 = "./locations.csv";
        String pathFile2 = "./full_data.csv";
        String row;
        try {

            BufferedReader csvReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(pathFile1));
            List<Long> totalCases = new ArrayList<>();
            while ((row = csvReader.readLine()) != null) {
                String[] split = row.split(",");
                totalCases.add(Long.parseLong(split[4])); // total at position 5
            }
            csvReader.close();

            csvReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(pathFile2));
            Map<String, Long> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
            int i = 0;
            while ((row = csvReader.readLine()) != null) {
                String[] split = row.split(",");
                String continent = split[2]; // continent at position 3
                map.put(continent, map.getOrDefault(continent, 0L) + totalCases.get(i));
                i++;
            }
            csvReader.close();

            return map.entrySet().stream().sorted(Entry.<String, Long>comparingByValue().reversed())
                    .collect(Collectors.toMap(e -> e.getKey(), e -> e.getValue(), (e1, e2) -> e2, LinkedHashMap::new));

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
