Method Detail

compareInt

public static final int compareInt(int a,
             int b)

Compares two ints.

Parameters:

a - first int to compare.

b - second int to compare.

Returns:

0 if a==b, -1 if a<b or +1 if a>b.

compareLong

public static final int compareLong(long a,
              long b)

Compares two longs.

Parameters:

a - first long to compare.

b - second long to compare.

Returns:

0 if a==b, -1 if a<b or +1 if a>b.

compareBool

public static final int compareBool(boolean a,
              boolean b)

Deprecated. use compareBoolean instead.

compareBoolean

public static final int compareBoolean(boolean a,
                 boolean b)

Compares two booleans.

Parameters:

a - first boolean to compare.

b - second boolean to compare.

Returns:

0 if a==b, -1 if a & !b or +1 if !a & b.

compareFloat

public static final int compareFloat(float a,
               float b)

Compares two floats.

Parameters:

a - first float to compare.

b - second float to compare.

Returns:

0 if a==b, -1 if a<b or +1 if a>b.

compareDouble

public static final int compareDouble(double a,
                double b)

Compares two doubles.

Parameters:

a - first double to compare.

b - second double to compare.

Returns:

0 if a==b, -1 if a<b or +1 if a>b.

compareString

public static final int compareString(String a,
                String b)

Compares two strings.

Parameters:

a - first String to compare.

b - second String to compare.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the the second specified String is greater than, equal to, or less than first String, ignoring case considerations.

compareList

public static final <T> int compareList(List<T> a,
                  List<T> b)

Compares two List.

Parameters:

a - first List to compare.

b - second List to compare.

Returns:

0 if a.size==b.size, -1 if a.size<b.size or +1 if a.size>b.size.
