Hi,
What are your thoughts on adding these default convenience methods to the
java.lang.Comparable interface?
public interface Comparable<T> {
int compareTo(T o);
default boolean isGreaterThan(T o) {
return compareTo(o) > 0;
}
default boolean isGreaterThanOrEqualTo(T o) {
return compareTo(o) >= 0;
}
default boolean isLessThan(T o) {
return compareTo(o) < 0;
}
default boolean isLessThanOrEqualTo(T o) {
return compareTo(o) <= 0;
}
}
code like "if (x.isGreaterThan(y))" is a lot more readable and expressive than
"if (x.compareTo(y) > 0)".
Kind regards,
Jimmy
