IeeeOrdering

scala.math.Ordering.Float.IeeeOrdering
See theIeeeOrdering companion object
trait IeeeOrdering extends Ordering[Float]

An ordering for Floats which is consistent with IEEE specifications whenever possible.

  • lt, lteq, equiv, gteq and gt are consistent with primitive comparison operations for Floats, and return false when called with NaN.
  • min and max are consistent with math.min and math.max, and return NaN when called with NaN as either argument.
  • compare behaves the same as java.lang.Float.compare.

Because the behavior of Floats specified by IEEE is not consistent with a total ordering when dealing with NaN, there are two orderings defined for Float: TotalOrdering, which is consistent with a total ordering, and IeeeOrdering, which is consistent as much as possible with IEEE spec and floating point operations defined in scala.math.

This ordering may be preferable for numeric contexts.

Concrete methods

def compare(x: Float, y: Float): Int

Returns an integer whose sign communicates how x compares to y.

The result sign has the following meaning:

  • negative if x < y
  • positive if x > y
  • zero otherwise (if x == y)

def isReverseOf(other: Ordering[_]): Boolean

Returns whether or not the other ordering is the opposite ordering of this one.

Returns whether or not the other ordering is the opposite ordering of this one.

Equivalent to other == this.reverse.

Implementations should only override this method if they are overriding reverse as well.

def on[U](f: U => Float): Ordering[U]

Given f, a function from U into T, creates an Ordering[U] whose compare function is equivalent to:

Given f, a function from U into T, creates an Ordering[U] whose compare function is equivalent to:

def compare(x:U, y:U) = Ordering[T].compare(f(x), f(y))

def orElse(other: Ordering[Float]): Ordering[Float]

Creates an Ordering[T] whose compare function returns the result of this Ordering's compare function, if it is non-zero, or else the result of others compare function.

Creates an Ordering[T] whose compare function returns the result of this Ordering's compare function, if it is non-zero, or else the result of others compare function.

an Ordering to use if this Ordering returns zero

Example 
case class Pair(a: Int, b: Int)
val pairOrdering = Ordering.by[Pair, Int](_.a)
                          .orElse(Ordering.by[Pair, Int](_.b))

def orElseBy[S](f: Float => S)(implicit ord: Ordering[S]): Ordering[Float]

Given f, a function from T into S, creates an Ordering[T] whose compare function returns the result of this Ordering's compare function, if it is non-zero, or else a result equivalent to:

Given f, a function from T into S, creates an Ordering[T] whose compare function returns the result of this Ordering's compare function, if it is non-zero, or else a result equivalent to:

Ordering[S].compare(f(x), f(y))

This function is equivalent to passing the result of Ordering.by(f) to orElse.

Attributes

Example 
case class Pair(a: Int, b: Int)
val pairOrdering = Ordering.by[Pair, Int](_.a)
                          .orElseBy[Int](_.b)
Inherited from:
Ordering
override def reverse: Ordering[Float]

Return the opposite ordering of this one.

Return the opposite ordering of this one.

Implementations overriding this method MUST override isReverseOf as well if they change the behavior at all (for example, caching does not require overriding it).
