IComparator (ph-commons 11.2.0 API)

Type Parameters:: DATATYPE - The data type to be compared

All Superinterfaces:: Comparator<DATATYPE>, Serializable

Functional Interface:: This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@NotThreadSafe @FunctionalInterface public interface IComparator<DATATYPE> extends Comparator<DATATYPE>, Serializable

A special interface that combines Comparator and Serializable for easier reuse since Comparators should be Serializable.
