- com.yahoo.search.result.Relevance

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Relevance>
```
public class Relevance
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<Relevance>
```
A relevance double value. These values should ideally be normalized between 0 and 1 (where 1 means "perfect"), however this is not enforced.
Sources may create subclasses of this to include additional information or functionality.

public Relevance(double score)
```
    Construct a relevancy object with an initial value. This initial value should ideally be a normalized value between 0 and 1, but that is not enforced.
    
    Parameters:
    
    score - the initial value (rank score)
- Method Detail
  - setScore
```
public void setScore(double score)
```
    Set score value to this value. This should ideally be a normalized value between 0 and 1, but that is not enforced. NaN is also a legal value, for elements where it makes no sense to assign a particular value.
  - getScore
```
public double getScore()
```
    Returns the relevancy score of this, preferably a normalized value between 0 and 1 but this is not guaranteed by this framework
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns the score value as a string
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(Relevance other)
```
    Compares relevancy values with
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<Relevance>
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)
```
    Compares relevancy values
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns a hash from the relevancy value
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
