Class MultiDimComparator<T extends MultiDimComparable<? super T>>

java.lang.Object

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.util.MultiDimComparator<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator<T>

public class MultiDimComparator<T extends MultiDimComparable<? super T>>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<T>

This class defines a bridge between our interface MultiDimComparable and the classic Comparator in Java. Precisely, this is an implementation of Comparator, which compares two MultiDimComparable objects in the dimension given in the constructor. Method compare(o1, o2) simply calls o1.compareTo(o2,i), where i is the index given in the constructor.
