net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.UntypedNumericComparer
- All Implemented Interfaces:
AtomicComparer
A specialist comparer that implements the rules for comparing an untypedAtomic value
(always the first operand) to a numeric value (always the second operand)

quickCompare
public static boolean quickCompare(UntypedAtomicValue a0, NumericValue a1, int operator, ConversionRules rules) throws XPathException Optimized routine to compare an untyped atomic value with a numeric value. This attempts to deliver a quick answer if the comparison is obviously false, without performing the full string-to-double conversion- Parameters:
a0
- the untypedAtomic comparanda1
- the numeric comparandoperator
- the comparison operator: a singleton operator such as Token.FEQrules
- the conversion rules- Returns:
- the result of the comparison
- Throws:
XPathException
- if the first operand is not convertible to a double
-
compareAtomicValues
Compare two AtomicValue objects according to the rules for their data type. UntypedAtomic values are compared as if they were strings; if different semantics are wanted, the conversion must be done by the caller.- Specified by:
compareAtomicValues
in interfaceAtomicComparer
- Parameters:
a
- the first object to be compared. It is intended that this should be an instance of AtomicValue, though this restriction is not enforced. If it is a StringValue, the collator is used to compare the values, otherwise the value must implement the java.util.Comparable interface.b
- the second object to be compared. This must be comparable with the first object: for example, if one is a string, they must both be strings.- Returns:
- <0 if a<b, 0 if a=b, >0 if a>b
- Throws:
ClassCastException
- if the objects are not comparable
-
getCollator
Get the collation used by this AtomicComparer if any- Specified by:
getCollator
in interfaceAtomicComparer
- Returns:
- the collation used for comparing strings, or null if not applicable
-
provideContext
Supply the dynamic context in case this is needed for the comparison- Specified by:
provideContext
in interfaceAtomicComparer
- Parameters:
context
- the dynamic evaluation context- Returns:
- either the original AtomicComparer, or a new AtomicComparer in which the context is known. The original AtomicComparer is not modified
-
comparesEqual
Compare two AtomicValue objects for equality according to the rules for their data type. UntypedAtomic values are compared by converting to the type of the other operand.- Specified by:
comparesEqual
in interfaceAtomicComparer
- Parameters:
a
- the first object to be compared.b
- the second object to be compared.- Returns:
- true if the values are equal, false if not
- Throws:
ClassCastException
- if the objects are not comparable
-
save
Create a string representation of this AtomicComparer that can be saved in a compiled package and used to reconstitute the AtomicComparer when the package is reloaded- Specified by:
save
in interfaceAtomicComparer
- Returns:
- a string representation of the AtomicComparer
