Java File类int compareTo（File filepath）方法与示例

File类int compareTo(File filepath) (File Class int compareTo(File filepath))

• This method is available in package java.io.File.compareTo(File obj).

  软件包java.io.File.compareTo(File obj)中提供了此方法。

• This method is used to compare two filepath or files whether they are lexicographically equal or not.

  此方法用于比较两个文件路径或文件，无论它们在字典上是否相等。

• The return type is int that means if it returns 0 then both files are equal if it returns negative value then the first argument will be less than the given argument and if it returns greater than 0 then the first argument will be greater than 0.

  返回类型为int ，这意味着如果返回0，则两个文件相等；如果返回负值，则第一个参数将小于给定参数；如果返回大于0，则第一个参数将大于0。

Syntax:

句法：

    int compareTo(File filepath){
    }

Parameter(s):

参数：

We pass only one object as a parameter in the method of the File i.e filepath. This argument will be compared with other arguments.

在File方法中，我们仅传递一个对象作为参数，即filepath。 该参数将与其他参数进行比较。

Return value:

返回值：

The return type of this method is int. So, it returns integer value(0, greater than 0, or less than 0).

此方法的返回类型为int 。 因此，它返回整数值(0，大于0或小于0)。

Java程序演示compareTo()方法的示例 (Java program to demonstrate example of compareTo() method)

// import the File class because we will use File class methods
import java.io.File;

// import the Exception class because it may raise 
// an exception when working with files
import java.lang.Exception;

public class CompareFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Specify the path of file and we use double slashes to 
            // escape '\' character sequence for windows otherwise 
            // it will be considerable as url.

            int compare;

            // creating two file object with absolute path
            File file1 = new File("E:\\Programs\\myjava.txt");
            File file2 = new File("E:\\Programs\\myjava1.txt");

            // By using compareTo(file2) this method will return 
            // negative integer because file1 length will be less 
            // than the file2
            compare = file1.compareTo(file2);

            if (compare == 0)
                System.out.println("Both files are equal");
            if (compare < 0)
                System.out.println("file1 is less than file2");
            if (compare > 0)
                System.out.println("file1 is greater than file2");

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("An error occurred.");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
