  +--gshute.util.Comparators

public class Comparators
extends java.lang.Object

Class Comparators is a factory class that provides comparators for comparing Byte, Double, Float, Integer, Long, Short, and String objects. All comparators returned by this class are singletons.

Constructor Summary
`Comparators()`

Method Summary
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forByte()` Comparators.forByte() returns a comparator for the Byte class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forByteReversed()` Comparators.forByteReversed() returns a reverse order comparator for the Byte class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forDouble()` Comparators.forDouble() returns a comparator for the Double class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forDoubleReversed()` Comparators.forDoubleReversed() returns a reverse order comparator for the Double class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forFloat()` Comparators.forFloat() returns a comparator for the Float class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forFloatReversed()` Comparators.forFloatReversed() returns a reverse order comparator for the Float class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forInteger()` Comparators.forInteger() returns a comparator for the Integer class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forIntegerReversed()` Comparators.forIntegerReversed() returns a reverse order comparator for the Integer class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forLong()` Comparators.forLong() returns a comparator for the Long class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forLongReversed()` Comparators.forLongReversed() returns a reverse order comparator for the Long class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forShort()` Comparators.forShort() returns a comparator for the Short class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forShortReversed()` Comparators.forShortReversed() returns a reverse order comparator for the Short class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forString()` Comparators.forString() returns a comparator for the String class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`forStringReversed()` Comparators.forStringReversed() returns a reverse order comparator for the String class.
`static java.util.Comparator`	`resolved(java.util.Comparator c1, java.util.Comparator c2)` Comparators.resolved(c1, c2) returns a comparator whose compare() method returns the same result as c1.compare() except that ties are resolved by c2.compare().
