Constructor Detail

InverseComparator

public InverseComparator()

Default constructor (for ExternalizableLite and PortableObject).

InverseComparator

public InverseComparator(Comparator<? super T> comparator)

Construct an InverseComparator.

Parameters:

comparator - the comparator whose results are inverted by this Comparator

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(T o1,
                   T o2)

Use the wrapped Comparator to compare the two arguments for order and negate the result.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<T>

Overrides:

compare in class SafeComparator<T>

Parameters:

o1 - the first object to be compared

o2 - the second object to be compared

Returns:

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

compareEntries

public int compareEntries(QueryMap.Entry entry1,
                          QueryMap.Entry entry2)

Compare two entries using the underlying comparator and negate the result.

Specified by:

compareEntries in interface QueryMapComparator<T>

Overrides:

compareEntries in class SafeComparator<T>

Parameters:

entry1 - the first entry to compare values from; read-only

entry2 - the second entry to compare values from; read-only

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first entry denotes a value that is is less than, equal to, or greater than the value denoted by the second entry

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare the InverseComparator with another object to determine equality.

Specified by:

equals in interface Comparator<T>

Overrides:

equals in class SafeComparator<T>

Parameters:

o - the other comparator

Returns:

true iff this InverseComparator and the passed object are equivalent InverseComparator
