The ordering - * should be total, such that any two objects of the correct type - * can be compared, and the comparison is reflexive, anti-symmetric, and - * transitive. It is also recommended that the comparator be consistent - * with equals, although this is not a strict requirement. A relation - * is consistent with equals if these two statements always have the same - * results (if no exceptions occur):
- * compare((Object) e1, (Object) e2) == 0 and - * e1.equals((Object) e2)
- * Comparators that violate consistency with equals may cause strange behavior - * in sorted lists and sets. For example, a case-sensitive dictionary order - * comparison of Strings is consistent with equals, but if it is - * case-insensitive it is not, because "abc" and "ABC" compare as equal even - * though "abc".equals("ABC") returns false. - *

- * In general, Comparators should be Serializable, because when they are passed - * to Serializable data structures such as SortedMap or SortedSet, the entire - * data structure will only serialize correctly if the comparator is - * Serializable. - * - * @author Original author unknown - * @author Eric Blake - * @see Comparable - * @see TreeMap - * @see TreeSet - * @see SortedMap - * @see SortedSet - * @see Arrays#sort(Object[], Comparator) - * @see java.io.Serializable - * @since 1.2 - * @status updated to 1.4 - */ -public interface Comparator -{ - /** - * Return an integer that is negative, zero or positive depending on whether - * the first argument is less than, equal to or greater than the second - * according to this ordering.
