Class FuzzyDoubleComparator

java.lang.Object

ptolemy.actor.util.FuzzyDoubleComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator

Deprecated.

As Ptolemy II 4.1, use GeneralComparator instead.

@Deprecated
public class FuzzyDoubleComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator

Compare two Double objects with respect to a fuzzy threshold. The threshold is set by setThreshold(). If the difference of the two double number is less than the threshold, then they are considered equal. The default value of the fuzzy threshold is 1e-10.

After Ptolemy II 4.1, this class is not used any more. Use GeneralComparator instead.

Since:

Ptolemy II 5.2

Constructor Detail

FuzzyDoubleComparator

public FuzzyDoubleComparator()

Deprecated.

Construct a FuzzyDoubleComparator. The compare threshold is 1e-10

FuzzyDoubleComparator

public FuzzyDoubleComparator(double threshold)

Deprecated.

Construct a FuzzyDoubleComparator with the given threshold.

Parameters:

threshold - The threshold

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(java.lang.Object first,
                   java.lang.Object second)

Deprecated.

Compare two objects according to a threshold. Return -1 if first < second - threshold/2; return 1 if first > second + threshold/2; return 0 otherwise.

If any of the argument is not a Double object, a ClassCastException will be thrown.

Specified by:

compare in interface java.util.Comparator

Parameters:

first - The first Double object.

second - The second Double object.

Returns:

The comparison result, -1, 0, or 1.

getThreshold

public double getThreshold()

Deprecated.

Return the fuzziness threshold.

Returns:

The fuzziness threshold.

See Also:

setThreshold(double)

setThreshold

public void setThreshold(double threshold)

Deprecated.

Set the fuzziness threshold. The threshold is always positive. If the argument is negative, then its absolute value is taken.

Parameters:

threshold - The threshold.
