Java Comparable

This is a class modifier that allows for the class to be compared to other classes (or itself).

Making a Class Comparable

1. Allow the class to implements Comparable (See Java Interface)
2. Create a compareTo(class_name arg) that returns an integer that represents how much greater the current object is than the calling object.

Boilerplate

// comparable with other class
public class myClass Comparable<otherClass> {
    int compareTo(otherClass obj);
}
// comparable with itself class
public class myClass Comparable<myClass> {
    int compareTo(otherClass obj);
}
