Comparisons and Comparables
|
Python |
Java |
|
The comparison operators
are ==, !=, <, >, <=, and >=. All comparison operators
return True or False. Only objects that are
comparable, such as numbers and sequences of comparable objects (strings and
lists of numbers or strings), can be operands for comparisons. Example: print("AAB" > "AAA") |
The comparison operators
are ==, !=, <, >, <=, and >=. All comparison operators
return True or False. All values of primitive
types are comparable. Values of reference
types are comparable if and only if they recognize the compareTo method. compareTo returns 0 if the two objects are equal (using
the equals method), a negative integer if the receiver
object is less than the parameter object, and a positive integer if the
receiver object is greater than the parameter object. Classes of comparable objects
generally implement the Comparable interface, which includes the compareTo method. Example: String s =
"AAB"; System.out.println(s.compareTo("AAA")
> 0); |
