public MinMax()

Method Detail

max

public static Iterator max(Container c)

Find the maximal element in a container. All objects in the container must be Comparable otherwise a ClassCastException is thrown.

Parameters:

c - container where to search for the maximal element.

Returns:

iterator pointing to the found object or to end of container if the container is empty.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the object's type prevents them from being compared pairwise.

See Also:

Comparable

max

public static Iterator max(Container c,
                           Comparator cmp)

Find the maximal element in a container with respect to the given ordering. All objects in the container must be Comparable otherwise a ClassCastException is thrown.

Parameters:

c - container where to search for the maximal element.

cmp - comparator giving the ordering of the elements.

Returns:

iterator pointing to the found object or to end of container if the container is empty.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the object's type prevents them from being compared pairwise.

Comparator, Comparable

min

public static Iterator min(Container c)

Find the minimal element in a container. All objects in the container must be Comparable otherwise a ClassCastException is thrown.

Parameters:

c - container where to search for the minimal element.

Returns:

iterator pointing to the found object or to end of container if the container is empty.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the object's type prevents them from being compared pairwise.

min

public static Iterator min(Container c,
                           Comparator cmp)

Find the minimal element in a container with respect to the given ordering. All objects in the container must be Comparable otherwise a ClassCastException is thrown.

Parameters:

c - container where to search for the minimal element.

cmp - comparator giving the ordering of the elements.

Returns:

iterator pointing to the found object or to end of container if the container is empty.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the object's type prevents them from being compared pairwise.
