package io.deephaven.util.compare
The Deephaven compare package serves as a low-level building block for Deephaven's sort order and equality testing.
Deephaven sort order is "nulls first". For floating-point primitives, the sort order is also "NaNs last" and
+0.0 equals -0.0. The "eq" method for each type is consistent with the "compare" method; that is,
compare(lhs, rhs) == 0 ⇒ eq(lhs, rhs) and compare(lhs, rhs) != 0 ⇒ !eq(lhs, rhs). The "hashCode"
method for each type is consistent with the "eq" method; that is, eq(x, y) ⇒ hashCode(x) == hashCode(y).
