Class AbstractByteComparator

java.lang.Object
  extended by it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.bytes.AbstractByteComparator
All Implemented Interfaces:
ByteComparator, Comparator<Byte>

public abstract class AbstractByteComparator
extends Object
implements ByteComparator

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.
