                   java.lang.Comparable<T> o2)

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

((Comparable)o1).compareTo(o2)

Specified by:

compare in interface java.util.Comparator<java.lang.Comparable<T extends java.lang.Comparable<T>>>

Parameters:

o1 - the first object

o2 - the second object

Returns:

result of comparison

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - when o1 is null, or when ((Comparable)o1).compareTo(o2) does
