### Method Detail

#### compare

    public int compare(Comparable<T> o1,
              Comparable<T> o2)

Compare the two `Comparable` arguments. This method is equivalent to:

    ((Comparable)o1).compareTo(o2)

Specified by:
  `compare` in interface `Comparator<Comparable<T extends Comparable<T>>>`
Parameters:
  `o1` - the first object
  `o2` - the second object
Returns:
  result of comparison
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - when o1 is `null`, or when `((Comparable)o1).compareTo(o2)` does
  `ClassCastException` - when o1 is not a `Comparable`, or when `((Comparable)o1).compareTo(o2)` does
