Interface FloatComparator

All Superinterfaces:
java.util.Comparator<java.lang.Float>
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface
public interface FloatComparator
extends java.util.Comparator<java.lang.Float>
A type-specific Comparator; provides methods to compare two primitive types both as objects and as primitive types.

Note that fastutil provides a corresponding abstract class that can be used to implement this interface just by specifying the type-specific comparator.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type Method Description
    int compare​(float k1, float k2)
    Compares its two primitive-type arguments for order.
    default int compare​(java.lang.Float ok1, java.lang.Float ok2)
    Deprecated.
    Please use the corresponding type-specific method instead.
    default FloatComparator reversed()  
    default FloatComparator thenComparing​(FloatComparator second)
    Return a new comparator that first uses this comparator, then uses the second comparator if this comparator compared the two elements as equal.

    • compare

      int compare​(float k1, float k2)
      Compares its two primitive-type arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
      Returns:
      a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
