CharBuffer compareTo() method in Java
A buffer can be compared with another buffer using the method compareTo() in the class java.nio.CharBuffer. This method returns a negative integer if the buffer is less than the given buffer, zero if the buffer is equal to the given buffer and a positive integer if the buffer is greater than the given buffer.
A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −
Example
import java.nio.*; import java.util.*; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { int n = 5; try { CharBuffer buffer1 = CharBuffer.allocate(n); buffer1.put('A'); buffer1.put('P'); buffer1.put('P'); buffer1.put('L'); buffer1.put('E'); buffer1.rewind(); System.out.println("The first CharBuffer is: " + Arrays.toString(buffer1.array())); CharBuffer buffer2 = CharBuffer.allocate(n); buffer2.put('A'); buffer2.put('P'); buffer2.put('P'); buffer2.put('L'); buffer2.put('E'); buffer2.rewind(); System.out.println("The second CharBuffer is: " + Arrays.toString(buffer2.array())); int val = buffer1.compareTo(buffer2); if (val == 0) System.out.println("
Both the buffers are lexicographically equal"); else if (val > 0) System.out.println("
The first buffer is lexicographically greater than the second buffer"); else System.out.println("
The second buffer is lexicographically greater than the first buffer"); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { System.out.println("Error!!! IllegalArgumentException"); } catch (ReadOnlyBufferException e) { System.out.println("Error!!! ReadOnlyBufferException"); } } }
Output
The first CharBuffer is: [A, P, P, L, E] The second CharBuffer is: [A, P, P, L, E] Both the buffers are lexicographically equal
