Detailed Description

This class is useful if one wishes to perform an ordinary one-dimensional sort on MultiDimComparable<T> objects based on a single coordinate \(j\), which is specified in the constructor.

It defines a bridge between the MultiDimComparable<T> interface and the classic Comparator in Java. It implements Comparator in a way that the method compare(o1, o2) compares two MultiDimComparable<T> objects in the dimension \(j\) given in the constructor, by calling o1.compareTo(o2, j).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MultiDimComparator()

MultiDimComparator

(

int

j

)

Constructs a comparator that uses coordinate j for the comparison of MultiDimComparable<T> objects.

One must have \(j \in\{0,…,d-1\}\).

Parameters

j	index used for comparison

Member Function Documentation

compare()

int compare	(	T	o1,
		T	o2
	)

Calls o1.compareTo(o2, j) from class MultiDimComparable<T>.

Parameters

o1	first object to compare
o2	second object to compare
