Class VertexDegreeComparator<V,​E>

  • Type Parameters:
    V - the graph vertex type
    E - the graph edge type
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparator<V>

    public class VertexDegreeComparator<V,​E>
    extends Object
    implements Comparator<V>
    Compares two vertices based on their degree.

    Used by greedy algorithms that need to sort vertices by their degree. Two vertices are considered equal if their degrees are equal.

        Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
        Creates a comparator for comparing the degrees of vertices in the specified graph. The comparator compares in ascending order of degrees (lowest first).
        Parameters:
        g - graph with respect to which the degree is calculated.

        use of(Graph) for ascending order or reverse the comparator for descending order.
        Creates a comparator for comparing the degrees of vertices in the specified graph.
        Parameters:
        g - graph with respect to which the degree is calculated.
        order - order in which the vertices are sorted (ascending or descending)

      • of

        public static <V> Comparator<V> of​(Graph<V,​?> g)
        Returns a Comparator that compares vertices by their degrees in the specified graph.

        The comparator compares in ascending order of degrees (lower degree first). To obtain a comparator that compares in descending order call Comparator.reversed() on the returned comparator.

        Type Parameters:
        V - the graph vertex type
        Parameters:
        g - graph with respect to which the degree is calculated.
        Returns:
        a Comparator to compare vertices by their degree in ascending order

        Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
        Compare the degrees of v1 and v2, taking into account whether ascending or descending order is used.
        Specified by:
        compare in interface Comparator<V>
        Parameters:
        v1 - the first vertex to be compared.
        v2 - the second vertex to be compared.
        Returns:
        -1 if v1 comes before v2, +1 if v1 comes after v2, 0 if equal.
