Class CellAddressComparator

java.lang.Object

io.starter.formats.XLS.CellAddressComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparator

public class CellAddressComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator, Serializable

A Comparator that sorts cell records by address. As XLSRecord currently uses default equality the imposed ordering is inconsistent with equals.

CellAddressComparator

public CellAddressComparator()

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(Object o1,
                   Object o2)

Compares its two arguments for order. The arguments must be XLSRecords that represent cells (isValueForCell() must return true).

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator

Parameters:

o1 - the first cell record to be compared

o2 - the second cell record to be compared

Throws:

ClassCastException - if either argument is not a cell record

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether another Comparator imposes the same ordering as this one. As all instances of this class impose the same order, this method returns true if and only if the given object is an instance of this class.

Specified by:

equals in interface Comparator

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for this object. As all instances of this class are equivalent this returns a constant value.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
