Method Details

compare

public int compare(ILigand ligand1,
 ILigand ligand2)

Compares two ligands according to the particular sequence sub rule. It returns 1 if ligand1 takes precedence over ligand2, -1 if ligand2 takes precedence over ligand1, and 0 if they are equal.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<ILigand>

Specified by:

compare in interface ISequenceSubRule<ILigand>

Parameters:

ligand1 - the first of the two ligands to compare

ligand2 - the second of the two ligands to compare

Returns:

1 if ligand1 is of higher precedence than ligand2, -1 if ligand2 is of higher precedence than ligan1, and 0 if they have equal precedence
