Class GreaterEqual<T>

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.jga.fn.Functor<R>
      net.sf.jga.fn.BinaryFunctor<T,T,java.lang.Boolean>
          net.sf.jga.fn.comparison.GreaterEqual<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Visitable

Direct Known Subclasses:

GreaterEqual.Comparable

public class GreaterEqual<T>
extends BinaryFunctor<T,T,java.lang.Boolean>

Binary Predicate that returns TRUE for arguments x and y when x >= y. The comparison is performed using a comparator supplied at construction time, although a default comparator will be used if the nested Comparable class' default constructor is used. The behaviour of this class in the presence of null arguments is left to the implementation of the specific Comparator, however it is generally safe to assume that using null arguments will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.

To serialize a GreaterEqual, the comparator passed at construction must be Serializable.
