Method Detail

begin

public static Comparison begin()
Begins a new comparison.

Returns:
the comparison.

beginAllowNull

public static Comparison beginAllowNull()
Begins a new comparison, but allows for null values to be passed.

If the first value is null and the second value is non-null, the comparison will return -1. If the first value is non-null and the second value is null, the comparison will return 1. If both values are null 0 is returned.

Returns:
the comparison.

compare

public abstract Comparison compare(Comparable<?> left,
                                   Comparable<?> right)
Compares the left comparable to the right as specified by the Comparable.compareTo(Object) interface.

Parameters:
left - the object to compare to the right.
right - the object compared to the left.
Returns:
the the same instance if the objects are equal, otherwise a comparison that will return a defined value.

compare

public abstract <T> Comparison compare(T left,
                                       T right,
                                       Comparator<T> comparator)
Compares the left object to the right object as specified by the Comparator.compare(Object, Object) interface.

Type Parameters:
T - the type of the object to the compared.
Parameters:
left - the object to compare to the right.
right - the object compared to the left.
comparator - the comparator used to compare the objects.
Returns:
the the same instance if the objects are equal, otherwise a comparison that will return a defined value.

compare

public Comparison compare(int left,
                          int right)
Compares the left integer to the right integer.

Parameters:
left - the integer to compare to the right.
right - the integer compared to the left.
Returns:
the the same instance if the integers are equal, otherwise a comparison that will return a defined value.

compare

public Comparison compare(long left,
                          long right)
Compares the left long to the right long.

Parameters:
left - the long to compare to the right.
right - the long compared to the left.
Returns:
the the same instance if the longs are equal, otherwise a comparison that will return a defined value.

compare

public Comparison compare(float left,
                          float right)
Compares the left float to the float integer.

Parameters:
left - the float to compare to the right.
right - the float compared to the left.
Returns:
the the same instance if the floats are equal, otherwise a comparison that will return a defined value.

compare

public Comparison compare(double left,
                          double right)
Compares the left double to the double integer.

Parameters:
left - the double to compare to the right.
right - the double compared to the left.
Returns:
the the same instance if the doubles are equal, otherwise a comparison that will return a defined value.

compare

public Comparison compare(boolean left,
                          boolean right)
Compares the left boolean to the double boolean.

Parameters:
left - the boolean to compare to the right.
right - the boolean compared to the left.
Returns:
the the same instance if the booleans are equal, otherwise a comparison that will return a defined value.

result

public int result()
Ends the comparison and returns 0 if all comparisons were equal, -1 if the any of the left comparisons were less than the right comparisons or 1 if any of the right comparisons were less than the left.

Returns:
zero if equal, otherwise the a value with the same sign as the first non-equal comparison.

getInstance

protected abstract Comparison getInstance()
Returns the comparison instance being used.

Returns:
the comparison instance being used.
