Method Detail

compare

int compare(Monosaccharide child1,
          GlycosidicLinkage linkage1,
          Monosaccharide child2,
          GlycosidicLinkage linkage2)

Compares two children of a node in a SaccharideGraph for order.

Parameters:

child1 - the first child

linkage1 - the link from the parent to the first child

child2 - the second child

linkage2 - the link from the parent to the second child

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first child is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
