public interface FloatComparator
float
values.
This is a @FunctionalInterface
even though it isn't declared as one,
so that it can be used in Java 6+.

compare(float f1,
float f2)
Compares
f1 and f2 . |
int compare(float f1, float f2)
f1
and f2
. Returns a negative value to indicate
that f1 < f2
, 0 to indicate that f1 == f2
, and a positive
value to indicate that f1 > f2
.
Implementations of this method must maintain the following invariants:
s(compare(x, y)) == -s(compare(y, x))
s(compare(x, y)) == s(compare(y, z))
→
s(compare(x, y)) == s(compare(x, z))
(transitivity)
compare(x, y) == 0
→
s(compare(x, z)) == s(compare(y, z))
∀ z
where s(x)
is defined as follows:
x < 0
: -1
x == 0
: 0
x > 0
: 1
Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
, and Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY
values. See Float.compareTo(Float)
for a valid example.f1
- the first float to comparef2
- the second float to comparef1
is less than, equal to, or greater than f2
