AtomContainerComparator (cdk 2.9 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.openscience.cdk.tools.manipulator.AtomContainerComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<IAtomContainer>
```
public class AtomContainerComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<IAtomContainer>
```
Compares two IAtomContainers for order with the following criteria with decreasing priority:
- Compare atom count
- Compare molecular weight (heavy atoms only)
- Compare bond count
- Compare sum of bond orders (heavy atoms only)
If no difference can be found with the above criteria, the IAtomContainers are considered equal.
