All Implemented Interfaces:
CharComparator, Comparator

public abstract class AbstractCharComparator
extends Object
implements CharComparator

An abstract class facilitating the creation of type-specific comparators.

To create a type-specific comparator you need both a method comparing primitive types and a method comparing objects. However, if you have the first one you can just inherit from this class and get for free the second one.
