when i ran example

package snippet;

import java.util.ArrayList;  
import java.util.Collections;  
import java.util.Comparator;  
import java.util.List;  
  
public class ComparatorMain {  
  
 /**

  */  
 public static void main(String[] args) {  
  Country indiaCountry=new Country(1, "India");  
  Country chinaCountry=new Country(4, "China");  
  Country nepalCountry=new Country(3, "Nepal");  
  Country bhutanCountry=new Country(2, "Bhutan");  
  
  List<Country> listOfCountries = new ArrayList<Country>();  
  listOfCountries.add(indiaCountry);  
  listOfCountries.add(chinaCountry);  
  listOfCountries.add(nepalCountry);  
  listOfCountries.add(bhutanCountry);  
  
  System.out.println("Before Sort by name : ");  
  for (int i = 0; i < listOfCountries.size(); i++) {  
   Country country=(Country) listOfCountries.get(i);  
   System.out.println("Country Id: "+country.getCountryId()+"||"+"Country name: "+country.getCountryName());  
  }  
  
  //Sort by countryName  
  // Anonymous Comparator  
  // old way  
  Collections.sort(listOfCountries,new Comparator<country>() {  
  
   @Override  
   public int compare(Country o1, Country o2) {  
    return o1.getCountryName().compareTo(o2.getCountryName());  
   }  
  });  
    
  // Using lambda expression  
  Collections.sort(listOfCountries,(o1,o2)-> o1.getCountryName().compareTo(o2.getCountryName()));  
    
  System.out.println("After Sort by name: ");  
  for (int i = 0; i < listOfCountries.size(); i++) {  
   Country country=(Country) listOfCountries.get(i);  
   System.out.println("Country Id: "+country.getCountryId()+"|| "+"Country name: "+country.getCountryName());  
        
   }  
 }  
  
}

i am getting below error at line 43

Multiple markers at this line
      - o2 cannot be resolved
      - Syntax error on token "-", --
       expected
      - Syntax error on token ",", .
       expected
      - o1 cannot be resolved to a
       variable
      - o1 cannot be resolved

and below error at line 34

Multiple markers at this line
      - country cannot be resolved to a type
      - The method sort(List<T>, Comparator<? super T>) in the type Collections is not applicable for the arguments
       (List<Country>, new Comparator<country>(){})
      - The type new Comparator<country>(){} must implement the inherited abstract method Comparator<country>.compare
       (country, country)

at below error at line 37
The method compare(Country, Country) of type new Comparator<country>(){} must override or implement a supertype method


Please advise on how to fix it.
