Comparable
module Comparable
The Comparable
mixin is used by classes whose objects may be ordered. The class must define the <=>
operator, which compares the receiver against another object, returning -1, 0, or +1 depending on whether the receiver is less than, equal to, or greater than the other object. If the other object is not comparable then the <=>
operator should return nil. Comparable
uses <=>
to implement the conventional comparison operators (<
, <=
, ==
, >=
, and >
) and the method between?
.
