Constructor Detail

AbstractIntegerComparator

public AbstractIntegerComparator()

AbstractIntegerComparator

public AbstractIntegerComparator(@Nonnull
                         ESortOrder eSortOrder)

Compare with a special order.

Parameters:

eSortOrder - The sort order to use. May not be null.

AbstractIntegerComparator

public AbstractIntegerComparator(@Nullable
                         Comparator<? super DATATYPE> aNestedComparator)

Comparator with default sort order and a nested comparator.

Parameters:

aNestedComparator - The nested comparator to be invoked, when the main comparison resulted in 0.

AbstractIntegerComparator

public AbstractIntegerComparator(@Nonnull
                         ESortOrder eSortOrder,
                         @Nullable
                         Comparator<? super DATATYPE> aNestedComparator)

Comparator with sort order and a nested comparator.

Parameters:

eSortOrder - The sort order to use. May not be null.

aNestedComparator - The nested comparator to be invoked, when the main comparison resulted in 0.

Method Detail

asLong

protected abstract long asLong(DATATYPE aObject)

mainCompare

protected final int mainCompare(DATATYPE aElement1,
              DATATYPE aElement2)

Specified by:

mainCompare in class AbstractComparator<DATATYPE>

Parameters:

aElement1 - First element to compare. No information on the null status.

aElement2 - Second element to compare. No information on the null status.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
