Libraries.Language.Support.CompareResult

The CompareResult class provides constants to represent results of a comparison. The possible results include LARGER, EQUAL, SMALLER, and INVALID. Each corresponds to an integer value, 1, 0, -1, and -2, respectively.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Support.CompareResult

class Main
   action Main
      Number one
      one:SetValue(10.3)
      Number two
      two:SetValue(9.6)

      if one:Compare(two) = CompareResult:LARGER
        output "one is larger than two"
      end
   end
end

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()
