Interface FloatComparator

All Superinterfaces:

Comparator<Float>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractFloatComparator

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 Comparator<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.

static <U extends Comparable<? super U>> FloatComparator	comparing(Float2ObjectFunction<? extends U> keyExtractor, Comparator<? super U> keyComparator)	Accepts a function that extracts a sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key using the specified Comparator.
static FloatComparator	comparingDouble(Float2DoubleFunction keyExtractor)	Accepts a function that extracts an double sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key.
static FloatComparator	comparingInt(Float2IntFunction keyExtractor)	Accepts a function that extracts an int sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key.
static FloatComparator	comparingLong(Float2LongFunction keyExtractor)	Accepts a function that extracts an long sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key.
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.

Method Details

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.

reversed in interface Comparator<Float>

compare

@Deprecated
default int compare(Float ok1,
 Float ok2)

Deprecated.

Please use the corresponding type-specific method instead.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<Float>

Implementation Specification:

This implementation delegates to the corresponding type-specific method.

thenComparing

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.

comparing

static <U extends Comparable<? super U>>
FloatComparator comparing(Float2ObjectFunction<? extends U> keyExtractor)

Accepts a function that extracts a Comparable sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key.

The returned comparator is serializable if the specified function is also serializable.

Parameters:

keyExtractor - the function used to extract the Comparable sort key

Returns:

a comparator that compares by an extracted key

Throws:

NullPointerException - if keyExtractor is null

comparing

static <U extends Comparable<? super U>>
FloatComparator comparing(Float2ObjectFunction<? extends U> keyExtractor,
 Comparator<? super U> keyComparator)

Accepts a function that extracts a sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key using the specified Comparator.

The returned comparator is serializable if the specified function and comparator are both serializable.

Parameters:

keyExtractor - the function used to extract the sort key

keyComparator - the Comparator used to compare the sort key

Returns:

a comparator that compares by an extracted key using the specified Comparator

Throws:

NullPointerException - if keyExtractor or keyComparator are null

comparingInt

static FloatComparator comparingInt(Float2IntFunction keyExtractor)

Accepts a function that extracts an int sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key.

The returned comparator is serializable if the specified function is also serializable.

Parameters:

keyExtractor - the function used to extract the integer sort key

Returns:

a comparator that compares by an extracted key

Throws:

NullPointerException - if keyExtractor is null

comparingLong

static FloatComparator comparingLong(Float2LongFunction keyExtractor)

Accepts a function that extracts an long sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key.

The returned comparator is serializable if the specified function is also serializable.

Parameters:

keyExtractor - the function used to extract the long sort key

Returns:

a comparator that compares by an extracted key

Throws:

NullPointerException - if keyExtractor is null

comparingDouble

static FloatComparator comparingDouble(Float2DoubleFunction keyExtractor)

Accepts a function that extracts an double sort key from a primitive key, and returns a comparator that compares by that sort key.

The returned comparator is serializable if the specified function is also serializable.

Parameters:

keyExtractor - the function used to extract the double sort key

Returns:

a comparator that compares by an extracted key

Throws:

NullPointerException - if keyExtractor is null
