IComparer.Compare(Object, Object) Método

Definición

Espacio de nombres:

System.Collections

Ensamblado:

System.Runtime.dll

Compara dos objetos y devuelve un valor que indica si uno de ellos es menor, igual o mayor que el otro.

public:
 int Compare(System::Object ^ x, System::Object ^ y);

public int Compare (object? x, object? y);

abstract member Compare : obj * obj -> int

Public Function Compare (x As Object, y As Object) As Integer

Parámetros

x

Object

Primer objeto que se va a comparar.

y

Object

Segundo objeto que se va a comparar.

Devoluciones

Int32

Entero con signo que indica los valores relativos de x y y:
- Si es menor que 0, x es menor que y.
- Si es 0, x es igual que y.
- Si es mayor que 0, x es mayor que y.

Excepciones

ArgumentException

Ni x ni y implementan la interfaz IComparable.

o bien

x y y son de tipos diferentes y ninguno puede controlar comparaciones con el otro.

Ejemplos

En el ejemplo siguiente se usa la IComparer interfaz para ordenar una matriz de cadenas. En este ejemplo, el Compare método se implementa mediante la CaseInsensitiveComparer clase para invertir el orden del contenido de la matriz.

using System.Collections;

public class Example
{
   public class ReverserClass : IComparer
   {
      // Call CaseInsensitiveComparer.Compare with the parameters reversed.
      int IComparer.Compare(Object x, Object y)
      {
          return ((new CaseInsensitiveComparer()).Compare(y, x));
      }
   }

   public static void Main()
   {
      // Initialize a string array.
      string[] words = { "The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over",
                         "the", "lazy", "dog" };

      // Display the array values.
      Console.WriteLine("The array initially contains the following values:" );
      PrintIndexAndValues(words);

      // Sort the array values using the default comparer.
      Array.Sort(words);
      Console.WriteLine("After sorting with the default comparer:" );
      PrintIndexAndValues(words);

      // Sort the array values using the reverse case-insensitive comparer.
      Array.Sort(words, new ReverserClass());
      Console.WriteLine("After sorting with the reverse case-insensitive comparer:");
      PrintIndexAndValues(words);
   }

   public static void PrintIndexAndValues(IEnumerable list)
   {
      int i = 0;
      foreach (var item in list )
         Console.WriteLine($"   [{i++}]:  {item}");

      Console.WriteLine();
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:

Comentarios

La implementación preferida es usar el CompareTo método de uno de los parámetros.

null Se permite comparar con cualquier tipo y no genera una excepción al usar IComparable. Al ordenar, null se considera menor que cualquier otro objeto.
