Package pal.util
Interface Comparator
public interface Comparator
interface for an object that can compare other objects for the
purposes of ordering them.
This interface is analogous to the Comparator interface in
Java 1.2 and higher, and it should be superceded by the collections
framework when PAL is moved to 1.2 or higher.
