- psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.experiment.VariableParameterValueComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<VariableParameterValue>
```
public class VariableParameterValueComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<VariableParameterValue>
```
Simple Comparator for VariableParameterValue It will first compare the value (case insensitive) and then the order. It ignores the variableParameter

- Method Detail
  - compare
```
public int compare(VariableParameterValue variableParameterValue1,
                   VariableParameterValue variableParameterValue2)
```
    It will first compare the value (case insensitive) and then the order. It ignores the variableParameter
    
    Specified by:
    
    compare in interface Comparator<VariableParameterValue>
    
    Parameters:
    
    variableParameterValue1 - a VariableParameterValue object.
    
    variableParameterValue2 - a VariableParameterValue object.
    
    Returns:
    
    a int.
  - areEquals
```
public static boolean areEquals(VariableParameterValue parameterValue1,
                                VariableParameterValue parameterValue2)
```
    Use VariableParameterValueComparator to know if two variableParameterValues are equals.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parameterValue1 - a VariableParameterValue object.
    
    parameterValue2 - a VariableParameterValue object.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the two variableParameterValues are equal
  - hashCode
```
public static int hashCode(VariableParameterValue value)
```
    hashCode
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - a VariableParameterValue object.
    
    Returns:
    
    the hashcode consistent with the equals method for this comparator
