java中compareTo用法

1、字符串比较

（1）逐个字符依次比较，当前位置字符不同时，直接返回ASCII码差值；

（2）两个字符串前 lim (limt = min(len1, len2)) 个字符相等时，返回两个字符串长度的差值；

  下面是String类封装的方法：

    /*
     * @param   anotherString   the {@code String} to be compared.
     * @return  the value {@code 0} if the argument string is equal to
     *          this string; a value less than {@code 0} if this string
     *          is lexicographically less than the string argument; and a
     *          value greater than {@code 0} if this string is
     *          lexicographically greater than the string argument.
     */
    public int compareTo(String anotherString) {
        int len1 = value.length;
        int len2 = anotherString.value.length;
        int lim = Math.min(len1, len2);
        char v1[] = value;
        char v2[] = anotherString.value;

        int k = 0;
        while (k < lim) {
            char c1 = v1[k];
            char c2 = v2[k];
            if (c1 != c2) {
                return c1 - c2;
            }
            k++;
        }
        return len1 - len2;
    }

2、Integer、Float、Double、BigDecimal比较

a.compareTo(b)

（1）a > b 返回1；

（2）a < b 返回-1；

（3）a=b返回0；
