Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
int	compare(long k1, long k2)	Compares its two primitive-type arguments for order.
default int	compare(Long ok1, Long ok2)	Deprecated. Please use the corresponding type-specific method instead.
default LongComparator	reversed()
default LongComparator	thenComparing(LongComparator second)	Return a new comparator that first uses this comparator, then uses the second comparator if this comparator compared the two elements as equal.
default Comparator<Long>	thenComparing(Comparator<? super Long> second)

Method Details

compare

int compare(long k1,
 long k2)

Compares its two primitive-type arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

reversed

default LongComparator reversed()

Specified by:

reversed in interface Comparator<Long>

compare

@Deprecated
default int compare(Long ok1,
 Long ok2)

Deprecated.

Please use the corresponding type-specific method instead.

This implementation delegates to the corresponding type-specific method.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<Long>

thenComparing

default LongComparator thenComparing(LongComparator second)

Return a new comparator that first uses this comparator, then uses the second comparator if this comparator compared the two elements as equal.
