Method Detail

compare

public static int compare(int x,
                          int y)

Compares two int values numerically.

Parameters:

x - The first int to compare

y - The second int to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y

See Also:

Integer.compare(int, int)

compare

public static int compare(byte x,
                          byte y)

Compares two byte values numerically.

Parameters:

x - The first byte to compare

y - The second byte to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y

See Also:

Byte.compare(byte, byte)

compare

public static int compare(short x,
                          short y)

Compares two short values numerically.

Parameters:

x - The first short to compare

y - The second short to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y

See Also:

Short.compare(short, short)

compare

public static int compare(char x,
                          char y)

Compares two char values numerically.

Parameters:

x - The first char to compare

y - The second char to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y

See Also:

Character.compare(char, char)

compare

public static int compare(long x,
                          long y)

Compares two long values numerically.

Parameters:

x - The first long to compare

y - The second long to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y

See Also:

Long.compare(long, long)

compare

public static int compare(boolean x,
                          boolean y)

Compares two boolean values.

Parameters:

x - The first boolean to compare

y - The second boolean to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if !x && y; and a value greater than 0 if x && !y

See Also:

Compares two double values numerically.

Parameters:

x - The first double to compare

y - The second double to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y

See Also:

Compares two values x and y. null values are considered less than all other values.

Type Parameters:

T - the comparable type

Parameters:

x - The first value to compare

y - The second value to compare

Returns:

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y
