java - Negate comparison chain -


i wrote like

@override public int compareto(cuboid that) {     return -comparisonchain.start()             .compare(this.d0, that.d0)             .compare(this.d1, that.d1)             .compare(this.d2, that.d2)             .result(); } 

to reverse order, negated result, see wrong docs says

ends comparison chain , returns result: value having same sign first nonzero comparison result in chain, or 0 if every result zero.

so integer.min_value allowed return value , negation fails. in source code, can see nothing -1, 0, , +1 gets ever returned, isn't i'd depend on.

instead of negation swap operands. simple , ugly, i'm curious if there's better solution.

i don't know if that's better (personally don't involve floating point operations), send through math#signum:

return -math.signum( .... ); 

i'd swap operands.
