| ComparableComparator | | public class ComparableComparator implements Comparator,Serializable(Code) | | A Comparator that compares Comparable objects.
Throws ClassCastExceptions if the objects are not
Comparable, or if they are null.
Throws ClassCastException if the compareTo of both
objects do not provide an inverse result of each other
as per the Comparable javadoc. This Comparator is useful, for example,
for enforcing the natural order in custom implementations
of SortedSet and SortedMap.
If both objects are null, they will be treated as equal. If one is null and the other
is not, the null value will be treated as smaller then non-null value.
