compare(Object obj1,
Object obj2)
Compares two objects in reverse order.
|
boolean |
equals(Object object)
Returns
true iff that Object is
is a Comparator whose ordering is known to be
equivalent to mine. |
int |
hashCode()
Implement a hash code for this comparator that is consistent with
equals . |
