Enum Compare

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Compare>, BiPredicate<Object,​Object>

    public enum Compare
    extends Enum<Compare>
    implements BiPredicate<Object,​Object>
    Compare is a BiPredicate that determines whether the first argument is ==, !=, >, >=, <, <= to the second argument.

      • eq

        public static final Compare eq
        Evaluates if the first object is equal to the second. If both are of type Number, NumberHelper will be used for the comparison, thus enabling the comparison of only values, ignoring the number types.
        Since:
        3.0.0-incubating
      • neq

        public static final Compare neq
        Evaluates if the first object is not equal to the second. If both are of type Number, NumberHelper will be used for the comparison, thus enabling the comparison of only values, ignoring the number types.

      • gt

        public static final Compare gt
        Evaluates if the first object is greater than the second. If both are of type Number, NumberHelper will be used for the comparison, thus enabling the comparison of only values, ignoring the number types.

      • gte

        public static final Compare gte
        Evaluates if the first object is greater-equal to the second. If both are of type Number, NumberHelper will be used for the comparison, thus enabling the comparison of only values, ignoring the number types.

        public static final Compare lt
        Evaluates if the first object is less than the second. If both are of type Number, NumberHelper will be used for the comparison, thus enabling the comparison of only values, ignoring the number types.

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static Compare[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (Compare c : Compare.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static Compare valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
