Class JArrays.ByteArrayComparator

java.lang.Object
net.algart.arrays.JArrays.ByteArrayComparator
All Implemented Interfaces:
ArrayComparator, ArrayComparator32
Enclosing class:
JArrays
public static class JArrays.ByteArrayComparator extends Object implements ArrayComparator32
Simple implementation of ArrayComparator, comparing elements of byte[] array.

Note that the elements of byte[] array are supposed to be unsigned: we always compare array[i] & 0xFF and array[j] & 0xFF instead of simple array[i] and array[j].
