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

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Parameter>

public class UnambiguousParameterComparator
extends ParameterComparator

Unambiguous parameter comparator. - Two parameters which are null are equals - The parameter which is not null is before null. - Use UnambiguousCvTermComparator to compare first the parameter types. - If parameter types are equals, use UnambiguousCvTermComparator to compare the units. - If the units are not set, compares the values - If both units are set and If they are equals, compares the values (case sensitive) - If both values are equals, compares the uncertainty.

Constructor Detail

UnambiguousParameterComparator

public UnambiguousParameterComparator()

Constructor for UnambiguousParameterComparator.

UnambiguousParameterComparator

public UnambiguousParameterComparator(ParameterValueComparator valueComparator)

Constructor for UnambiguousParameterComparator.

Parameters:

valueComparator - a ParameterValueComparator object.

Method Detail

getCvTermComparator

public UnambiguousCvTermComparator getCvTermComparator()

Getter for the field cvTermComparator.

Overrides:

getCvTermComparator in class ParameterComparator

Returns:

a Comparator 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. - Use UnambiguousCvTermComparator to compare first the parameter types. - If parameter types are equals, use UnambiguousCvTermComparator to compare the units. - If the units are not set, compares the values - If both units are set and If they are equals, compares the values (case sensitive) - If both values are equals, compares the uncertainty.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<Parameter>

Overrides:

compare in class ParameterComparator

Parameters:

parameter1 - a Parameter object.

parameter2 - a Parameter object.

Returns:

a int.

areEquals

public static boolean areEquals(Parameter param1,
                                Parameter param2)

Use UnabmbiguousComparatorParameter to know if two parameters are equals.

Parameters:

param1 - a Parameter object.

param2 - a Parameter object.

Returns:

true if the two parameters are equal

hashCode

public static int hashCode(Parameter param)

hashCode

Parameters:

param - a Parameter object.

Returns:

the hashcode consistent with the equals method for this comparator
