Package psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.parameter

Class ParameterComparator

java.lang.Object

psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.parameter.ParameterComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Parameter>

Direct Known Subclasses:

UnambiguousParameterComparator

public abstract class ParameterComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Parameter>

Simple comparator for Parameter It first compares parameter types, then parameter units and then it uses ParameterValueComparator for comparing parameter values It will also compare the uncertainty. - Two parameters which are null are equals - The parameter which is not null is before null.

Constructor Detail

ParameterComparator

public ParameterComparator(Comparator<CvTerm> cvTermComparator)

Creates a new ParameterComparator

Parameters:

cvTermComparator - : cv term comparator to compare parameter types and units. It is required

ParameterComparator

public ParameterComparator(Comparator<CvTerm> cvTermComparator,
                           ParameterValueComparator valueComparator)

Creates a new ParameterComparator

Parameters:

cvTermComparator - : cv term comparator to compare parameter types and units. It is required

valueComparator - : parameter value comparator. If null, it will create a new ParameterValueComparator

Method Detail

getCvTermComparator

Getter for the field cvTermComparator.

Returns:

a Comparator object.

getValueComparator

public ParameterValueComparator getValueComparator()

Getter for the field valueComparator.

Returns:

a ParameterValueComparator object.

compare

public int compare(Parameter parameter1,
                   Parameter parameter2)

It first compares parameter types, then parameter units and then it uses ParameterValueComparator for comparing parameter values It will also compare the uncertainty. - Two parameters which are null are equals - The parameter which is not null is before null.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<Parameter>

Parameters:

parameter1 - a Parameter object.

parameter2 - a Parameter object.

Returns:

a int.
