Class AbstractIntComparator

java.lang.Object
  extended byit.unimi.dsi.fastutil.ints.AbstractIntComparator
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparator, IntComparator

public abstract class AbstractIntComparator
extends Object
implements IntComparator

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.
